is the rear hatch fiberglass originally i bought the truck used and had been wrecked in rear. the rear hatch does not line up and is only piece of fiberglass on the truck so wondering if it is aftermarket and if replaced the new one will align correctly

You are correct it is a stock item.
The rear hatch is Fiberglass and usually broken where the spare latches.

I have seen some people try to re-fiberglass the lid with variable success. I had a broken hatch right where the spare mounts and I just cut a piece of diamond plate aluminum and riveted the plate over the fiberglass.
You could do something like that to patch the hatch or look around for a B2 that is being scrapped and maybe it would have a better gate than yours.
