Hi,
I was wondering if the tailgate from a 1950 1/2 ton truck ebay link would fit a 1941 truck.
I know the 1941 truck should have a plain tailgate, but this is what's available - and I quite like the lettered one.
Cheers

I have tried the catalogues - but they don't give sizes.
The stovebolt forum reckons it can be done - but think I might just wait for the right ones!
The earlier ones fit - or so I'm told |

Not necessarily, after all, they are both Stepside, in which case the buck should be a similar size. Tyre & wheel size increased, so possibly the tubs are bigger...
Leave it with me & I'll check. _________________ Don't run your fingers over my truck & I won't run my truck over your fingers!
