PREPARING PICKUP TRUCK - TAILLIGHT MOUNTING
NOTE: No changes are necessary for OEM taillight fasteners. The taillight mounting
screws can be removed with an 8mm wrench after liftgate is installed.
`
Recommended practices for welding on steel parts are contained in the current AWS
(American Welding Society) D1.1 Structural Welding Code - Steel. Damage to Liftgate
and/or vehicle, and personal injury can result from welds that are done incorrectly.
NOTE: If pickup truck is equipped with after-market hitch, weld fi ller strip to main
frame housing. It will fi ll gap between liftgate and pickup bed.
1. Arrange the fi ller strips (Kit item) end-to
-end as shown in FIG. 12-1.
`
CAUTION
To prevent damage, liftgate bat-
power cables are disconnected
before using electrical welder.
Put welder ground lead as close
as possible to part being welded.
Use protective cover on liftgate
and truck body to protect from
welding heat and spatter.
2. Butt the ends of the 3 fi ller strips togeth-
er to make one long strip (FIG. 12-1).
Then, weld the 3 strips together as
shown in FIG. 12-1.
NOTE: Position fi ller strips with
the welds facing down.
3. Position and support liftgate be-
tween the corner posts of pickup
bed (FIG. 12-2). Next, position fi ller
strip fl ush with top-rear edge of
main frame housing. Then, weld
fi ller strip to main frame (FIG. 12-2).
When the welds are cool, fi ller strip
can be painted.
