Does anyone know of reproduction or have an original set of side gate hindges for the early Ford stake beds.
Could you modify these to make what you need?

The Model AA truck parts didn't change through the Early Ford V8 era. To help in looking for parts, the part numbers for the hinges are AA-186304-B and AA-186405-B. You need a total of 8 of each type.
Northern Classis Trucks, now out of business, used to make these parts. I don't know of any current supplier of the hinge brackets.
I can make an accurate drawing from a couple of original hinge brackets and send to you if that will help.
Attached is a picture of the two types needed.
