G518 tailgate

Post by nwmv »

Can any of you guys supply the dimensions and pics for a steel Ben Hur trailer tailgate. I think I will take a crack at fabricating one.

Just thought I would post and let you guys know. I recieved my tailgate from Rex Ward over in England today was shipped on the 1st. and recieved on the 4th amazing. It is in perfect condition came in red oxide with the P/N stenciled on it. Complete with hinge pin and two reflectors. Picked up a couple of other hard to find parts at the same time. Shipping was under $200.00 which is not bad considering I am on the west coast. To bad he does not have any other Ben Hur goodies. :lol:
