tailgate handle

HI. Has anybody reworked a 66 GMC fleetside taigate to accept a
internal handle setup like the newer trucks have and have it look like it was original equipment. If so could you tell me what parts you used. Thanks, Bill.

are the tailgates thick enough to hold all the components?

It seems to be. Tried a setup from a 72 jimmy but would have to rework the handle to much. Was looking at A 87 Ford Ranger handle. Not as much space is needed.

i dont know about putting a handle on a 66 tailgate but i have seen some people take stepside beds off of 90's model trucks and put them on apaches and cheyennes and it actually looks really nice.
