In the VladTV interview they're doing to promote their upcoming book, Mike Campi and Dan Dorsky talk about how they have a recording of Salvatore Aparo saying he was inducted at the same ceremony as Vincent Gigante. Gigante didn't like Aparo because the member who proposed Aparo slapped Gigante's father-in-law years prior.

Do we know what year Gigante was made? I know it's always been assumed he was made after shooting Costello, but I wasn't sure if there was evidence indicating it was before that.
Great question, I really wonder when Gigante was made
Yeah, the books were closed pretty soon after Costello was shot, but by all indications Gigante was made well before they reopened in the late 70s. So he either got made immediately after the attempted hit or was already made. This meant he would have been made by his late 20s, which seems young but not necessarily for that time period.
I have no evidence to point either way but I’d think especially in those days if you were going to wack a boss you’re sending a made guy not an associate. If things go wrong and the guy gets caught you want that reassurance he’s not going to talk. So I’d lean toward Gigante already having his button by that time.
