    1951 Canadian tailgates

    Yes Ryan I think that is correct.But…..I wanted a script one and found one that was for a 50 and earlier, the only difference is where the chains hook, and as I was taking the chains off it didn’t matter.I have the original 1951 block one for sale.Two places for more info...
