M37 Tailgate Center Hinge

[jonathan.shields]

I need to purchace the center hing for my M37B1. I have the left and right hinge and am assuming when I purchase the tailgate it will come with the rods attached that will mate with the hinges. However I cannot find a picture of the center hinge or any for sale. I am considering going to a museum and looking at one on the floor, drawing one and fabricating it.

Any leads

No hinge per se. It has a cupped or curved piece of metal that slides around the tube support in the middle. Looking for a photo to show you.
