We had quite a surprise when we cut the bottom of that tail gate.All the rust was still in there....So we had to cut everything under the letters and start new.The previous owner just recap the bottom of the tail gate square so she was touching the bed.We had to bent some metal sheet to reproduce the shape of the original one.It turn out pretty good i think.
