Let's see some Modified Tailgates - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Because of my previous camper , I had NO tailgate,
but went ahead & lowered my 67 3/4 ton.,..
I then looked around to see what else mischief I could get into..

I think I found it..... problem is :
* our bed openings is 65 "....
* Suburb, double doors measure just 60 inches...
*red is used for clarity of idea ...( my truck is white )
I figure most interest is spent on the other 90% of the truck,
& shy of welding the t-gate shut or using a cargo net...?

just lookin for some other ideas..

THANKS MUCH

anybody used one of those honda tailgates that flip down and out? Flip down like a normal tailgate, but also swing out like a door. Thats the best way i can think to describe it.

I'm with palf70step. Bought my first New truck in 1995 a Toyota T-100 2nd week I had it somebody decided it needed a size 13 shoe print right on the left side of the tail gate handle. Drove it that way till I sold it in 2000.
