Post Tailgate Adjustment?

Hey guys,
Is there any way to adjust the tailgate? I bought a new one but it doesn't sit flush with the bed. My old one was flush on one side but not the other. By flush I mean when standing to the side of the truck the tailgate sticks out farther to the rear than the bed.....Thanks.........Lumpy

Loosen the piece with the square hole and slide it forward a little. We'll call it the latch pocket.
It my take a few tries, and there's ben a time that I had to remove it and oval the mounting holes to move it far enough.

I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it.
FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.
