Tailgate latch relocated inside

[Madgyver]

Who's done it?
I've seen a pic of it on a yellow tailgate before.
Anyone got that pic to post?
And info on the relocation?

curious why?

I ordered new tailgate skins (Big Ford Leters, truck application) and thought about going with a shaved look.

Tailgate skins similiar to this..

I bought a tailgate out of the junk yard 20 years ago that already had it done. Sorry I don't have much information to share....

I think I want to move it back to the outside.. pain in the butt to open from the outside with a lift kit.... plus if the back is full of stuff you have to move it all to open the tailgate......

Good point but it does look cool.

Here's a pretty well known Bronco with that setup, think the guy goes by the name of Jim but don't hold me to that? I'm going to be doing a different gate on mine shortly and will relocate my handle because it will take away from the look I'm goin for.
