Re: fleetside shortbox issue
I think tightening the perimeter bolts would correct your gaps on the tailgate. I would start tightening from the front and work your way back and see if the gap starts correcting itself. My other thought would be when I did it years ago I had my tailgate latched, which basically set my gaps, but it doesn't sound like you can do that so you might want to put a winch between the stake holes and get your gaps right before tightening the bolts.
Good luck.
