Re: 1959 GMC 9310 Canadian built Shortbox Fleetside Deluxe
I acquired a used tailgate and wanted to see how much body filler it had on it so I got my grinder out and went to work. The PO had welded in a smooth panel so there was more filler on it that should have been.
After I removed most of the filler, I painted it with some RustOleum black to prevent any surface rusting (until full attempt to repair it) and to help show any dents and imperfections.
I think I just might have a tailgate worth using after all. Unless the center panel is no good but won't know that until we get the smooth panel off. I don't like the slight curve in it however.
