Yes, I know, repros are available, but I figured I would try for original.
I'm in the US.

I've got this tail gate. Don't know what truck it would fit, but I've been told by an expert that most of my parts are M series. I can measure it if that helps. If it is what helps you, the shipping would be the thing. I'm in GA.

I think that is a bulkhead panel that goes directly behind the seats of some open cab vehicles. They do look like gates.

It is kind of thin skinned, so that would explain that. Sorry I couldn't help you. Back to the parts shelf.

Re: WTB original 3/4 Dodge WC-51/52 tailgate
I have no tailgates (they are always torn up so I just get repros), but your piece looks like the front bed panel for a Dodge WC. Which aren't M series; we didn't use the M (Model) designation for wheeled vehicles until after WW2, about 1950 or so. We did use the M for Ordnance items and tracked vehicles, as in, M1 rifle, and M4 Tank. But for wheels, we used the Manufacturer's name.
