Re: Model A tailgate Vs Model T Tailgate
There were 2 tailgates for the Model A Pickups that I am aware of. The early Model A tailgate resembles the Model T tailgate (1925-1927) and may be exactly the same. The hinge that is riveted to the sheet metal is the giveaway. The early hinge is a single layer at the hinge bolt area, and the top of the hinge is cut flat. The later hinge is doubled back over itself and the top of the hinge has its corners clipped off. See the photos.
