howdy everyone,

I am in need of photos of the connection, particularry the pivot at the bottom of the tailgate. I bought a blazer gate and there is nothing to attach or pivot to the bed. I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing on my fleetside.

Thanks in advance

The trunions bolt to the bed, The round part of the trunion, about 1.5" in diameter, sets into the tailgate. There should be a section at the bottom of the tailgate that has a rounded top made of sheet metal. The trunion fits in there.
