Title: 1949 Kaiser Traveler tailgate spacer/filler??
Post by: Kenn Evans II on November 26, 2010, 03:18:11 PM: I am working on my 1949 Kaiser Traveler, I am looking for the piece that goes between the body and the tailgate, when the tailgate is down. I saw one in a photograph on a Virginia and would like one for my traveler. It makes the car look more complete and makes the floor smooth for sliding things in and out. Thanks for your help.

Here's a pic of mine...done in 2007 Chrysler black with a 30% gloss (hides the wavy sheetmetal nicely!)

Post by: pnw_oldmags on January 11, 2011, 06:17:52 PM: It seems that all of the bridges sold on cars had 5 slats but lots of the Promotion Material showed bridges with 7. The bridge I duplicated had only 5 so that is what we did. If you made the bridge with 7 slat it would have to be longer and more difficult to store in the car when not in use.
