Default tailgate

Hi

Nice work.

My drawings are provisional to some degree and I have taken a little poetic license with the drawings in order to fill in the gaps. It is over 70 years since these vehicles were built and only god knows what mods people have done over the years.

I suspect that the tailgate had a metal band around the outside because the tailgate would be rather flimsy without a band.

I will have a look , I might find some pics of Rory Ballards tailgate on his PU . Rory knows the ins and outs of these bodies like nobody else does.

This pic shows the band around the 15 cwt CS8 drop sides as an example
