66 Belvedere Tail Gate Repair - HELP!

[mustbemad]

Thanks Jim,

Your photos were awesome. Fitted, tested and adjusted it numerous times - they're heavy things!

I don't suppose you have a photo of the interior trim on the tailgate, Jim? I had a piece of aluminum rivetted over the inside, and I'd prefer it looked a little bit more original!

Thanks!

The inside panel is 14 7/8" x 50 7/8". The retaining strip for the bottom was badly rusted so the body shop made one for me from a piece of sheet metal 50 3/4" long.

I can only dream of a tailgate like that!

LOL! It required rust repair too. But it wasn't awful.
