Re: Question on repop tailgates

I finally used one of my new take off tailgates for my truck and proudly displayed all the original spot welds that it left the factory with. And they loved to leave them rough on our trucks. I bet all those heavy spot welds made the gate heavier than todays aftermarket gates.
