The tailgate on this bed was an aftermarket model from Mar-K...the center portion of the tailgate was flat which made it possible to overlay the center with another flat panel. If your tailgate is an OEM, that is, it has the stamped lettering...then you would have a different challenge on your hands. Tailgates are easily removed so it really wouldn't matter too much whether the bed was new or existing.
My tailgate need a lot of work. I want to change the center a flat panel.
Ian looking for a panel I can weld in.
