I need a tailgate for my newly purchased T3C.
I’d like to try making my own, does anyone have high quality photos and/or dimensions? I think I have a pretty good idea of how it was made but am a bit fuzzy on the sizes of the bracing on all four edges and how the hooks interface with the tub. Thanks in advance.

A replacement repop is not too expensive:
I'm deployed right now or I could give you some dimensions Edited by 48cj2a - 02 Dec. 2019 at 4:07am |

There are some tailgate photos in my build thread that might be helpful: Can't help with dimensions- the trailer is packed away for the winter.

Initially, I was going to suggest using the available end panels offered for trailer repair, but Art's post shows that's now unnecessary. That seems very reasonable - even if it needed tweaking during install.
For fabricating, you'll still have to work out the hinges , chains etc. Searching here and Art's T-3C Page, you can narrow what style chain is best for your trailer. Looking forward to seeing your trailer! |
