Aftermarket Tailgate (crappy fit)
Just got my tailgate a few days ago and test fit.....not a good fit. Only reason I got it is because the inside of the original is just too beat up to fix, so it looks like I'm going to take the inside skin off the new one and graft it onto the original. Shouldn't be too tough to drill out the spot welds around the sides and bottom, but will have to do a butt weld at the inside top. Anybody else done this???...and if so....tips, advice?
Even though I was told otherwise, this tailgate is definately not as heavily built as the original. I don't know how many sources there are for these things, but I can't imagine there is more than a couple with the appropriate equipment to stamp these things.....someone educate me. The pictures tell the story! Last edited by SactoJim; 10-04-2007 at 05:19 PM. |
