    So I've got a hatchet hole in the outside of my tailgate(don't ask me), as well as a dent in the contour line. It's an 88 base model with the latches on the sides.

    Does anyone make skins that fit this, with holes predrilled for latch fitment. I would hate to order a skin and not have it fit.
    Or has anyone swapped in a handled tailgate? How would that work?
    Thanks!

    Grant Kustoms might have some sh*t

    If it was me I would probably cut out around the hatchet hole and weld in a new metal piece.
