Hey zicc.. I've made an LED light bar I'm flush mounting in the rollpan... below the tail gate. 1" x 64" wide made from 4 individual multi LED light bars. Will appear as a continous light bar... full width with park lights on. But using sequencial flasher setup for signals..( inner flashes.. outer flashes.. etc)

Had some steel repair to do behind the wheel openings.. the goodmark repair panel I got my hands on fit like absolute crap. What a piece of garbage. Rear indent below tail lights non existent... and 45 deg. bend along the wheel opening not to be found either. I used pieces of it... but it took lots of reworking to make anything of it.. pittiful really..

Thanks zicc!..
I won't take it to heart if anyone calls me mentally challenged for this one.. lol The tailgate I'm using was bowed.. like 1.5". There was only one way I could see to really get it straight again... so I split it. Drilled the spot welds.. zip cut along the top.. and split it all apart. After several hours with a hammer, block and a dolly, I think it's useable now. Rust removed/sealed from the inside.. and welded back together. Finished fabbing the cover plate for the reverse handle setup I made

I tack welded the gate skins to cross sills from the truck bed.. after verifying straight/true. This kept everything true as I welded it back together. Just finishing up the bodywork on the gate ... should be spraying some primer in the next day or 2. Box assembly will follow.. and my lightbar/rollpan setup.
