So, went to open my tailgate and the right side hinge was gone!
Would one of you fine people mind measuring the diameter and length of the pipe that the tailgate hinges on so that I can make a replacement?
Really stinks not having that hinge point and makes for a unwelcome "Santa's trap door" if I forget and step over there!

 

OK length is 1.375 diameter is 1.125 There is a flat on two sides that is .75 across from one side to the other.

 

Thanks very much. I know it's a bit of a pain to pull the tailgate, and I really appreciate it!

 

I happened to have one around with the tailgate off. So it was prretty easy

 

Appreciate it!
Are the flats at about 45 degrees?

 

I'd say that's about right.

 

Something like this?

 

yeap only hollow

 

Mine broke off too. I found it wedged down in the fender. Worth taking a look.

 

I think you lucked out!

 

Like this?

 

The red and the reflection is a nice touch

 

Kinda pathetic compared to your rendition but.......after looking at it in better light it isn't 45*

 

That's actually a perfect shot, THANKS!

 

A picture is worth......
