Tailgate repair
« on: December 06, 2020, 01:48:32 PM »
I have second tailgate for my 3a. i have one that will take 2 jerry can holders but with them off I have 8 holes showing. Bought another tailgate to have for that. It needs a lot of work and one thing was a big bow in top of it. I put a 4' ground rod through the tubing. Made a yoke of plywood and a cross piece of 2x4 and wood on bottom to spread load out, Put a small 2 ton bottle jack and viola straightened the tubing with no kinks.


1950 CJ3A finished. 1950 CJ3A in pieces. 1947 Bantam T3-C trailer, 1946 Cushman Scooter 50 series
