Tailgates

I have this tailgate for my f-250, and I was wondering what to do to fix the handle and gouge in the side of it? Thanks for your help.

On the back side of the Tailgate is an Inspection Cover, remove it, now you can gain access to the back of the handle. Remove it. The replacement handles are very inexpensive, you can find them on E-Bay. Before you install the new handle, smooth out the dent by simply tapping on it until the new handle fits properly.
