Thanks.
When I got that truck, the original tailgate looked like hell.. but i'd seen several '41 thru '46 1/2 ton trucks with the later '47 thru '53 tailgates on 'em, so I figured they outta fit.
So I pulled one off one of my parts trucks, and lo and behold, it was too wide.
Then I got to looking at some of the '41 thru '46 trucks i'd seen with the 'AD' tailgate and saw that most of them had not only the AD tailgate on 'em, but also the AD BED.
I'm not sure what all is involved in that, but i've seen several 'Deco' trucks with 'Advance Design' beds and rear fenders on 'em. I guess they must be easier to find.. but they don't look bad, and at a casual glance, I doubt most folks would even notice.
