I needed a short tailgate and wanted to have he chevrolet script on it. I took a rusty fleetside tailgate and cut the center section out of it. I took square tubing and made the top and sides. Then used a round tube and half a square tube for the bottom.

I welded some latches on the inside and put the limit chains on the inside also for the clean look. Turned out pretty good.
