What's the ugliest part of your truck's body? Some say the nose, and some say how it tows, but we say it's your tailgate. (http://customclassictrucks.com/techarticles/0912cct_chevy_c10_mar_k_tailgate_install/index.html) OK, so we used a weak parody of a Frank Zappa song to hook this story, but necessity truly is the mother of invention. The first thing to take a beating on any truck ever made is the tailgate. When it comes to customizing a classic truck, the problem is compounded by primitive designs that not only are clumsy; they don't lend themselves to clean looks. Never mind the funky appearance of the chain and hook arraignment Chevrolet and GMC used to latch both the Stepside and Fleetside tailgates, the darn things are notorious for scratching paint, and consequently causing rust.
