I got one of those friends to...haha..
This tailgate pic is just for reference ...my friend had a guy come to him, that did a hidden tailgate latch on his square body...he welded a patch piece in the tailgate trim..(circled in red)..to fill in the handle notch..it was almost flawless...you had to get the reflection just right to even notice it..and that is some thin aluminum
So yep ..good on you for seeking out a pro..show some pics when you get it done..
