I also have a new Rares tailgate put away, thinking it was going to be a better fit than the cheap aftermarket ones. The question now is how to replace tailgate? Get a skin folded up & weld on? About ten years ago we cleaned up a Datto 1200 ute to use for a runabout, buying guards, grille, tailgate. The guards were half an inch longer than original due to worn dies & the tailgate not much better. The edges had to be trimmed with a grinder just to get them to fit
