Well it's been a while since I posted. After removing the bed and notching out the crossmember to make room for the gas tank I tackled moving the tailgate handle to the inside. To be honest the idea of messing with the tailgate linkage scared me but I figured I would learn as I went. It really was not that difficult and this new tailgate handle opens like "buttah" such an improvement over the stock one. I still have some refining to do on the outer skin but I am getting close.
