That is a great idea, and would be very slick, and I also thought along those same lines for my truck for a long time!
But, until you start trying to fab something like this up while trying to maintain a deadline, and then realize that unless you have the tailgate continuously going up & down all day long, 95% of the public will never notice, or care.
That is when I focused on mods that 95% of the public WOULD notice, like shaved door handles, and filled seams...
Just my .02 cents worth.
