    Though some of you might be interested in this. Working on a new tailgate

    This will be a swing out tailgate gate that will hold a spare/cans/other items. It will reinforce your bedsides via multiple points. It will seal the lower section from dust for those with tops.

    Its still early in the project, here is a peek at the frame. Don't mind my super duty parts for another project.

    Would this potentially be a drop down AND swing out all in one?

    Currently there will be just the swing out with a table that will drop down. I'm not sure you could do both with out a large frame. Possibly a drop down could be looked at later. This design will allow more area then using conventional bed stiffers.

    Ooh, I see. Looking real slick so far though. I'd be very interested in the final look.
