Hello, will a 1939 or 1940 truck tailgate fit a 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton?

I think the '39's are about 3" narrower than the 40 - 46 gates ?

39's should be the same width, I thought the box was the same? Someone who knows for sure will come along.

39's are narrower by 3 inch's, also the round hinge/pivit part is different diameter. you'll need a 41 and up tailgate. Check this link out....
