stupidity has cost me money

So today I was loading stuff into the back of my 84 and i only put one chain on the tail gate. For some reason I decided to stand on the tailgat to get out of the bed. Well needless to say one chain didn`t hold my weight and it ripped the whole side out of the tailgate. I was able to bend it back some and then used ratchet straps to get it back in place so I could close it. I`ll have to weld it up when I go back to work next week. The only good thing about it was the tailgate needed to be replaced anyway and stepside gates are pretty easy to find around here. Just though I would share my stupid moment.
