Here's a preliminary image of the tailgate I'm going to build this fall. It still has several errors, but the most critical are the horizontal measurements between the inboard side of the 12ga upright braces at each end of the gate (marked Lt and Lb in red on the drawing). I've drawn the inboard side of these braces vertical, but I believe they are actually tapered on some tailgates (my dump bed is a Gar Wood).- some photos of the braces seem wider at the bottom than the top.
Could any of you guys who have access to a tailgate check those two dimensions for me?
Thanks,
