tail gate for 50' F2

Anyone know where I can find a good tail gate for a 50' F2? I think that it is the same as for an F1. I think in 1950, there were 2 types of tail gates, top of roll and below roll, I have a top of roll type.

Thanks

hi,
the F2s (and F3s) have the 8 foot "express" box. these boxes are longer and wider than the F1s, thus the F1 endgate would be short for the F2 box.

Louie,

Thanks for the info. Looks like the F2/F3 tail gate will be tough to find. Any ideas where I can find one?

As I look for a replacement tail gate for my 50' F2, anyone know how to repair the top part of a tail gate (tubular portion which is supposed to be round, mine is badly dented but rest of tail gate is not too bad).

Thanks,

Try cutting it off & welding on a steel tube the same size. I have used this in the past. (body man for 20+ years)
