I have a 93 Mitsubishi Mini Cab coming and it has the dump bed. It does not have the tail gate. Any chance of finding one? lear31@windstream.net Rocky
If it was a normal truck I would say it would be fairly easy to find but because it is a dump truck it will be impossible.
Did it even have a tailgate originally? I should have it home this coming week. I'll have a better idea of how it is equipped.
There is 2 types of dumps: 1 is identical to normal mini truck in which all 3 sides fold down with simple hinge. This will be no problem finding tail gate as it is same as regular non-dump mini truck. Other kind is solid sides made of thicker steel with a 2 way "tail gate" at the rear. You can open the latches from the top and swing the gate down or you can leave the latches in place and when the dump is in the 45* position the latches will automatically open from the bottom and spill the load. This is the kind that it is impossible to find replacement.
