Tail gate rattle

I am happy to say that I got the 72 out this week and put some miles on it. Actually the first I have drove it with the new gate. It has a rattle that is driving me nuts already. It has a little too much clearance in the trunion/gate pocket area. I am not sure if the trunion is wore to small or the gate pocket is wore to large. I don't recall having this issue with the old gate but I also did not put many miles on it with the old gate. The top of the gate closes/latches and feels good and tight as it should.

Any one have a similar problem? How did you fix it?

The gate is absolutely beautiful. I will do what I have to to make it right and cure this because I know it is not normal.

Thank you for any advise,
Tom
