I found a tailgate cracked at the top edges but the section I am looking for sure looked good. the only problem is shipping is more than what Paid for the parts. but that is old news to everyone.
So that will be my first try for this fix.

Keep in mind that with minor changes the basic tailgate remained the same from 1945 throu 1981. Those areas of your tailgate that are specific to the M38 version you will need to find on an M38 tailgate but the rest can come from anything from the CJ2A thru the CJ6.

Steve,
Can you give the tailgate supplier dimensions or a marked
up photo and have them cut out the area you need and ship
only that?
A 4-1/2" angle grinder with cutoff wheel will do the job.
