There are 2 bolts that have to be removed from the body side of the hindge. The top one unbolts with the gate open the other 1 is between the gate and the bumper. After removing those 2 bolts you have to slide 1 side of the gate up to almost a 45 degree angle then pull outwards...

It can be made like that. My dad did it with the gate on the 69 bed that's on my truck now...
