Re: 1947-1954 GMC pickup stepside tailgate
Actually 54 is the first year the bed rails were flat/horizontal as opposed to the angle of the earlier models. Deeper beds and the frame rails were not as humped up as the earlier models. So the tailgate shown is for 54 or later model. Also another way to tell is how the chains hold the gate up. The earlier models hook throught the side I guess you would say. FWIW
