Rusty/Julian: thanks for the response. Rusty, is your 47 an Advanced Design truck? I believe there were 1st series and 2nd series body styles in 1947? I've made 6 of these so far for 54 thru 87 tailgates (50 7/8") and from this post I am looking for feedback as to the viability of making more, for other years. I have the dimensions (49 3/4") to make a batch for the 48 thru 53 tailgates. Rusty, I'm fairly certain the design could be made to work on most tailgates but it is dimension specific. How wide is your tailgate? If it's 49 3/4" my plans would work for your truck. Julian, is this for your 1952 3600? Again I'm looking for feedback....I haven't sold any yet but would like to, what do you think it's worth? If you haven't read my post above, please do, I like you guys to be a part/start of this Focus Group to evaluate my idea. (Or send me a PM).
