dj with a rear gate?
According to one source, none of these came with a rear gate. However, I haven’t found a definitive source for an answer yet.
DJ w/tailgates are fairly comman as much as the ones w/o tailgate, many also had T-96 trans floor shifter instead of the column shift, they came with 3 different windshield frames, 3-4 body styles, 1) w/solid back panel, 2) w/tailgate opening, 3) tailgate opening body w/large front door entrance for use w/enclosure only.
Great Info .. thanks. And that makes sense with what I’ve seen anecdotally. Do you know if there were specific model labels used to identify these different styles?
