It's kind of hard to tell from his website, but the hinges look like stainless or chrome. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | Both Jim Carter & Chevs of the Fourties have chrome plated. Don't recall seeing stainless in my travels. Would be interested in a set for my '40 if you come across any. | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | britcon I'm sure you know a 1940 tailgate hinge is one year only.
It's a big ol critter.

I ordered a set of hinges that were supposed to fit - diameter was way too small. Guess that explains it ! Thanks for the tip | | | | | | OLTrucks Unregistered | | OLTrucks Unregistered | Yeah you either need to get bushings to use the later ones or original hinges. Few have ever seen a real 40 tailgate.
