Sorry it took a while to get back. We appreciate the comments and suggestions about our product. The updated instructions for the tailgate "gate keeper" have been posted on the website, http://www.mar-k.com/54-87TGlinkassy.pdf . Kevin, thanks especially for your thoughtful criticism and suggestions. We truly appreciate them and your patience in working with the product. All your comments have been addressed in the new instructions posted. And we supply 1/2" bolts instead of the 3/4" bolts you received.

By the way, this will be one great looking truck. We are really looking forward to seeing the final result.

This looks like just what I'm looking for. I want to dump the chains and will be replacing my beat up tailgate too.

No problem at all, I think it is great that you guys check into your products and make changes as needed. I like to post info to help out other board members on what I find or do. Your product is a top notch piece and works great with a few tweaks. Now if you have fixed the tweaking end of it, well that makes it that much better for the average person who wants to really clean up the back end of their truck and get rid of the ungly-noisy chains.
If I had a step side of my own I would definetly buy a set of these for my self. Luckly all my trucks are fully developed from the factory and do not require them

Today Kevin spent the day finishing up some small details.
1. He mounted the seats and added bracing on the underside of the floor pan.

2. He also installed the billet bulkhead fitting for the Vintage Air AC unit. The plans are to hide the AC hoses inside the fender.

3. Welded up some useless holes inside the cab, ground them down, applied body filler and sanded them.

4. He block sanded the roof, interior and firewall.

While Kevin was very busy doing all that, It took me all day to block sand the bed with three different grits of sand paper.

We only have the inner fender wells, rear step fenders, and some small miscellanous pieces left to sand. Then it should be painted very very soon.

I can't forget a picture of the bed that took me all day to sand.
