Nice job Jordan
Been following your tailgate progress with passion as I am about to do one for the cab 11.
Do not forget that any welding will burn off the POR coating on both sides if you get good penetration...... try to get all your welding done first........ for the reinforcement pocket use the zinc primer on the inside section ....weld them .....then POR......
As anyone ever notice that the cab 11 tail gate is the reverse of a cab 13????
On the cab 11 all the bracing and reinforcement are on the inside..... which is a pain in the butt if the tailgate is held open at 90 degrees and you sit or drag something over it...... but the cab 13 has all the reinforcement on the outside leaving a smooth inside.
Unfortunately the hinge straps on the cab 11 are riveted....which implies a little more work .
Cheers
