Even when not hooked up, our practice is to lower the tailgate on our K1500 and back it under the GN part of our GN trailer. We always leave the tailgate down when we do this...well almost always. [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

As I related in an older thread, my wife had the tailgate up and tried to pull forward. Obviously, the GN part and the tailgate collided. Now the tailgate looks like a ) when viewed from above.

I was thinking about getting a used tailgate in a junkyard, then the Northern Tool catalog arrived and I noticed the tailgates designed for use with a GN/Fifth wheel hitch.

Two questions...

1. Anyone have one of these installed?
2. Can you still treat on of these GN tailgates as a tailgate? By this I mean, stand on it, stack stuff on it?
