Thanks for the compliments on my OCD shop and the truck's color choice...most people scrunch up their nose when I say "Gray and White".
I used Round Headed Weldnuts. It was a bit of a trick to position them, but I thunk it out. I made the wood pieces with the holes drilled, countersunk on the face, used flat head socket screws to fasten the weldnut to the boards and put a dab of epoxy on the flat weld nut portion that touched the bare metal of the tailgate...positioned them, put weights on each board and let set. Once the epoxy dried, I was bale to remove the screws and boards, then weld the nuts to the tailgate...prime. paint, and reattach the boards.
Sorry about the pic below, it's funny how you can take a million pics and and yet not get it all documented well.
