Well Tim,you sure have accomplished some nice work, your truck looks real good, your a real pro with the sheet metal work.
Can I ask where you found the rear directional lights with arrows, I have only seen these once before on a 1941 Ford civilian body military 1.5 ton truck.

...appreciate your feedback.
Mike..... $180 for the tailgate is not a bad price..... did you ever price a repro Dodge Power wagon tail gate.....??? Keep in mind that I am working on an early 2B1 steel box for the cab 11. Fortunately I do have a rsuted beat up one to copy. It seesm that all the early models had a lot more parts in the assembly.... whether it is the doors or the tailgate. I will take careful measurements and will post them for anyone else's future need. My old tailgate seems to be all 14 guage but will not more when I do some reverse engineering. I like Mike's idea for the large hinges.... I will need quite a few as I have the drop sides. I will mostlikely follow Georges' approach of getting the parts bent and cut my own lenght with the cut off wheel and/or the plasma cutter. I just hope to be able to develop some kind of "rapport" with the guys at the fabricating shop so I can monitor what they are doing for us. Will keep you posted. Bob C.
