Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.

Ok, I started back to work on the truck a little in the garage. I'm still a bit sore from the accident- physical therapy three times a week for six weeks. It's a PITA but my back should be fine after it's all through.

I hooked up the Mar-k tailgate hinges and the stealth latches this weekend. I did my best to do a step by step with the pictures since there are some deviations from the vague directions in both kits. I started with the hinges and immediately the directions went out the window. Step 1 is to unbolt the tailgate chain mount from the bedside facing the tailgate. Well mine weren't bolted in, they were plug welded. I drilled them out, lined up the new ones and plug welded them in. I did the relief cuts on the gate so they would tuck in and they were done.
