Re: Smitty's 67 Build

Well I hate how poor these tailgate work. So I got a donor tailgate off a new Chevy truck and all the parts will work with some tweaking. I still have a few things to do but here are some pics.

The top hole is the factory hole. The bottom bolt is were the original strap mounted to I ground it down to the right height and drilled and taped it.

I cut off the mount on the bottom of the donor tailgate and they fit right inside of the original. I sloted it open so it comes off like a new one and works super smooth.
