anybody have instructions for refitting styleside tailgate,i have the workshop manuals but cannot seem to find this info,video would be good
Hi Gary,
I don't have a video but what I do is set the tailgate flat - inside facing up - on top of a rolling cart that I have. I then roll the cart around to the back of the truck and align the tailgate bottom with the opening. There are two hinges.
C4TZ-9943000-A
and 4 bolts
379630-S2
I place the hinges in the pockets of the tailgate, then roll the gate into place and align the hinge bolt holes with the holes in the bed and get them started. To tighten them you will have to slightly close the gate to get to the bottom ones. After that, any adjustments can be made by slightly loosening the 4 bolts, making the adjustment and re-tightening the bolts - not unlike the doors or hood.
