Honestly your tailgate is in REALLY good shape. I'd just use your welder to seal up the holes from the rivets and leave it at that. You did score on that welder BTW, the tank was the big score. You'll want to get some .23 wire for welding your sheetmetal with though, and just bite the bullet and get the big roll. Better to have to much than not enough.

I'm honestly amazed at how good of shape your truck is. The rust damage looks very minimal from the photos, my truck is in far worse shape
