    Does any one know where I can find a tailgate handle relocator for my 88. I always see the ones for the 89 and up but can't find the 88 and lower.

    didn't even use one on mine..just cut out the mount side then use that as a template to cut out the inside of the tailgate and re-weld it on the inside of the tailgate

    its all custom so i would just use the 89 one and make it work. the filler plate might not fit but better than nothing.

    I reused the original steel that I cut out and welded it back in on the inside as well.
