I had found a local guy advertising parts on Craigslist, so met up with him the previous summer and bought a right front fender and a tailgate from him. I discovered the tailgate was missing the hinge socket on one side, so got that from my original roached tailgate and welded it in. I also patched a couple of popped loose spot welds and a small hole. Soon afterward, I discovered that someone had cut an inch off each side so it would fit a slightly narrower pre-1946 bed. That's still sitting in the garage waiting to find someone with a pre-46 pickup that needs a decent tailgate.
