It also had a piece of angle iron across the top of the outside of the gate. I believe these were attempts to make it stronger as the originals did not have these features

Both my original tailgate and the NOS tailgate I got from Red River had the angle iron piece across the top.

It's turning green, after these two pictures I finished the 1st coat on the whole machine. Tomorrow I will get a second coat and work on small items in the blast cabinet. Not a spec of paint to spare, should have ordered another gallon.

Fenders on, passenger fuel tank, both under tank/fender supports, engine cover and a bunch of other brackets etc. That engine cover is a real treat to get on. Oh and my work paid off on the fuel sending unit I made from a M151 sender and my broken goat sender, we have a working fuel gauge.

I decided not to take the risk of spraying the camo just hours before leaving so for now it will stay forest green. Still painting little items, going to be a long night. Thanks Bill, won't have time to get any commo mounted, have everything but the corner antenna mount.
