MAR-K, here are two shots of just the pan/tailgate weld in.

this one is from a pretty low angle



this one should be fairly straight on

thanks, this one was pretty rough to start! Actually took two to make one reasonably straight one, but the Mar-K pieces worked out perfect!

Those pictures are great Matt. We'll post them on the site this month. I'll post when they are up, but be watching Customers trucks built with MAR-K truck parts
You can see the pictures of the truck from your earlier posts here:

I bought one of these and the fit is terrible. Looks like it was cut at an angle and does not line up on the tiop side of the tail gate.

The weld in panel doesnt go to the top side of the tail gate, it ends where the body line is at the top edge of the tail lights. Is the weld in panel you got from MAR-K or someone else?

do you have a picture of it?

if you look at page 1 you can see how mine fit right out of the box after a failed attempt to mock it up the wrong way.

You are correct Shift1313, it is suppose to end at the line at the top of the tail lights. the one I got from MAR-K is at least an inch too short on the right side. The quality of thier product mudt be poorly controlled because the pictures you have posted look very good. Mine is a POS and I am very disappointed. I actually bought this because of your post.

Im sorry to hear that DarkWolf40 as mar-k has been the one company that stood out from the rest of the parts I put on this truck for me, both in quality and tech support. Every other part I have had trouble with in either quality or tech support or both. I hope you get it all sorted out.
