Then bumper it will be. LOL.
Worked on cutting the latches off the tailgate tonight. Then couldn't manage to find the trunions anywhere hence the clamps holding up the tailgate. Also the tailgates definately original. Originally eat up. So need to work on straightening it out again but think it should look half way decent when done. Need to come up with a small check strip hidden to just hold the tailgate straight when fillling the gas tank.Thinking i can weld a stud inside the lip and relieve the back edge of the tailgate and have a thin stainless coated wire loop. We shall see. Also should be starting on lineing up the front panels this weekend.
