Mine is a 1944 2N. I recently got it running again after it sit in my front
yard as yard art for about 30 years. Had to replace all the sheet metal
parts. All the mechanical parts were in great shape. Cranked right up
after replacing the electrical parts.

I too marveled at that tailgate. Most of the pickups I drag home need about two days of welding and straightening and a length of 3/4 black pipe for the bottom. And that's just to get them serviceable, not pretty.
