1952 F2 tailgate
I own a long bed 1952 F2 that was restored by the previous owner. It was a meticulous, stock restoration on a very solid, original F2. The only issue I found was that he used a 1950 tailgate. I bought a 1952 tailgate but when I got it, it was too small, most likely a short bed F1 tailgate. Does the F2 long bed have a taller/wider tailgate? If so, does anyone know where I may find one?
Thank you,
John

John, why do you think the '50 gate is incorrect? Maybe the person used a gate from a different vintage truck.
The tailgates for the F-1 did change slightly, I think in the mid '50 model year when the boxes began to come with flat sides.

I guess I had the right tailgate all along. I thought there would be a difference because the 51-52 F1 tailgate differed from the 50 F1 tailgate (chain bracket position).
Many thanks

The block letter Ford gate is a Canadian only thing. All the US production Ford gates thru '52 were script.

Met up with a person who cared more about making a buck than just enjoying old trucks.
