How do I get tailgate off?
My 71 has no provisions for pulling out the tailgate from one side when its open like the newer ones do.........so, how do you get to the bolts to tighten or loosen for removal or install of tailgates?
TIA!

1/4 inch drive ratchet with a 6 inch extention and a 9/16 socket would be the easiest way to do this.

very good point. I ended up bleeding in addition to your list longnlow72.
Hope you don't have nice paint, becouse you probably won't once the gate comes off. Last edited by Longhorn Man; 06-02-2005 at 06:39 PM. |
