Tailgate Adjustment

This is driving me crazy, I hate how the adjustment looks on my tailgate. It is way too close on the right side. I can't seem to figure out how to get the gate over to even up the gap for both sides. Can anyone help?

Re: Tailgate Adjustment

If all else fails a pair of spacer washers under the hinge mounting bolts on the passenger side will do it.

Re: Tailgate Adjustment

Just happened to watch an Overhaulin show last night on a 67 Chevy C10, and they had the same issue. Watch the video, it's at the very beginning on how they adjusted the tailgate after the advertisement. I'm going to try it.

Re: Tailgate Adjustment

OK, so I used the port-power that I got this week. Worked like a charm.
