Today I finished bolting down the bed, and drilled the new bolt holes in the rear of the bed. I was reinstalling the tailgate when I noticed this little enigma.

question: What do you do if you have a rusty hole in the bottom of your tailgate? Do you:
A.) get a new tailgate?
or
B.) weld in a patch and Bondo and shape it?

apparently the answer is:
C.) Head in to your kitchen and grab some tin foil, stuff it in the hole to use as backing, and pile on the Bondo!

Welding is a lot like sex, you don't have to be great with the rod as long as you thoroughly prep the surface and your good at grinding My build : 68 C10 Short Bed Conversion
