Just to see if any of yall has done a custom tailgate for your trucks that function like the oem tailgate ( open close and latches)my old man used to have a 91 bricknose f150 that had one setup for a fith wheel and it looked good, the center of the gate had a small door that was removable. It was made of 1"x1" square tubing with some wire mesh that was 1/4 thick . Im currently undecided if i should go oem on the tail gate or make my own. If any of you have pics of custom tail gates post some pics, or try to talk me out of a custom tailgate.;-) hope not

 

This is the one I have. Dont know if thats what your talking about, but it does open, and latch shut.

By the way my bottle jack died, and I needed to change a tire lol

 

Yeah thats what im looking for.
Keep them pics coming.

 

Mine was store bought. Dont remember who makes it though. Its nice just backing under a gooseneck and not having to get out of the truck except to lower the trailer, and flip the ball up!
