Tailgate handle move
Is it possible to move the tailgate latch handle to inside the bed. On the back of the tailgate. I'm shaveing the door handle for remotes, so to go along with the sides I want the tailgate smooth also. Or are there other suggestions out there.
Thanks AL C

Tailgate handle move
Thanks for the thread, that's exactly what I want to do. I wish I had a listing of all these different websites. Or that I knew how to find these sites it sure would save alot of time. Thanks again this is why FTE is the #1 site on the web.

MAR-K has a kit for your truck. If you are talking about the 1977 Styleside, you can go here to order:
http://www.mar-k.com/Catalog/itemDetails.asp?ItemID=120335
If you have not ordered from the website before, you'll have to put in your year, make and model of truck.
We also make several different styles of tailgate weld-ins for the outside of the truck.
Hope this helps.

Relocating the handle to the inside is the easy part. You better know what you are doing if you go to weld in a patch on the outside. The metal is so thin you will surely shrink it and then the fun begins trying to stretch it back to close to original shape. Been there and it took alot of work. So be warned!!
