Tailgate Hinges - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a problem where the previous owner broke the head of the bolt that is used to attach one of my tailgate hinges. I finally got the bolt out, but in the process I ended up pushing the whole nut or housing all the way through the back of the bed frame. Now I have a hole that's bigger than my replacement bolt and I can't get to the back of the hole to put another nut and washer in. Has anyone had this problem and how did you go about fixing it?
