1940 dodge 1/2 ton rear panel

Can someone please post up a photo or 2 of the panel that covers up the rear oak bed rail below the tailgate and goes from fender to fender where the rear bumper brackets are?

That panel is missing on my 1940 1/2 ton and it looks like it needs a panel there to cover up that oak bed rear crossmember.

 

cheers!

As strange as it looks , there was no panel there . I made a panel to cover that area from a piece of sheet metal and I can post a photo of it if you like . Not stock .

As Jerry stated they did not come with a panel but you can make one easy enough. Here is a picture of how they came stock. The bumper is home-made and was on the truck when I bought it.

My ‘36 rear looks almost like your ‘40   I don’t know if my truck helps your question!
