had another tailgate question.
is there premarked spots to mount the pivit mounts for the tailgate? should i drill holes or weld the pivit mount's? i got a tailgate from one of Rock's buddy's but i forgot to get the hardware so im gonna pick the hardware up from a local yard this weekend.

I bolted the pivots on.... I just kinda winged it. I don't really remember anymore, but I think the width was a little tight, and I had to do a some hammer work. But my bronco was so bashed up, I really don't know if it's necessary.

Now that I think about it, I think I lined up the body lines on the tailgate and rear quarter panels. Then stuck the pivots where they needed to be. I'll have to check when I get home.

edit:
Looking at this pic, that's what I did.
