Re: tailgate binding.. hinge pics
is the hinge on the box the correct peice? when i sit the cup on that flat sided hinge pin it binds as i close the tailgate big time.

Doesn't look right to me the mount on the bed should be round.

Re: tailgate binding.. hinge pics
There are 2 different hinge configurations that i know of, and the brackets are slightly different sizes.
I am running a 70s tailgate on an 80s box and it took some shoving to get it to seat properly the first few times. Posted via Mobile Device
