removeable fleet tailgate
I have an idea for how to make this happen but want to know if anyone else had any ideas. I will make the trunion into a flattened oval and cut a slot in the gate pocket. probably about 1/2" wide.

Re: removeable fleet tailgate
Yep that's how it's done. There is a FAQ on this I'll try to find the link.

This may be the link I was thinking of but, the pictures are gone from the post. So really it is no help at all. |

Re: removeable fleet tailgate
I had posted those pics. I'll see if I still have them on a disk, or take new ones...

Re: removeable fleet tailgate
I looked at an 87 yesterday. they seem to have the same bolt pattern and shape of trunion. maybe I ould swap one of those in.

Re: removeable fleet tailgate
You will still have to modify the gate itself...
