You can see from the pictures the top has splayed out from where it should be and all the factory welds and seams are cracked, I am going to ratchet strap it back to where it should be then reweld all the factory seams and use some flat plate and bend it to fit the body in multiple ways then plug weld it to the body along with vertical gussets in the corners
Before...
This is how I am going to fix it...Red will be the flat plate, green dots are the plug welds into the body, green lines are welds on the plate, orange lines are fixing the cracks in the body and the yellow is the gusset but it won't be that big...
And I got another question. Can I convert the tailgate latches to the newer post style from the older loop style. The tailgate I'm installing is the newer and the bed is the older style...
