Tailgate

[cumminsgirl]

Anyone ever successfully filled all the holes on the tailgate left from the dodge panel?

If so please tell me how! Lol


Edit:
Final Result!

If it's an LE you could do it a couple of ways....body filler is what most would do but I'd take off the tailgate and use body solder myself. I looked and here's a decent video on using body solder (lead/tin sticks) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SD98LDc0GAI. If you're kind of skeezy about dealing with lead sticks you can pick up lead free body solder now a days too.

The easy way would be to just stick a base model tailgate on it and stash the LE gate in the rafters.

^^^ this. You're going to need paint work either way, so why not take the easy road.

I guess it really depends on the final look she's after. If she's debadging the entire truck so that it's "slick" then a base model tailgate wouldn't help with that. I've gone back and forth on it with my truck since I've pulled all the other badges except the D O D G E on the grille. I did come up with a third option which is to go with a fiberglass tailgate shell. According to the site posted on another thread http://www.showcars-bodyparts.com #327-71 they're about $168.

Or you could take an 86-90 LE gate and take all the trim off and just grind the nubs off that hold the trim, this would be easier than filling the holes too and it wouldn't have the DODGE RAM stamped into it either.

Found a different tailgate at the closest Pick a Part today, just finished painting it up this evening. I think its gonna work much better than the old
