Need K5 Tailgate Help

[83 BLZR]

So a couple months back i took my tailgate off and completely stripped everything out of it. Now i have a new OEM from LMC, my problem is i cannot remember how to put it back together. I looked all around for a diagram or even some pics. Cant find anything. Pics of the internals would be great. Thanks in advance.

Yeah the link does no good. thanks for the diagram it helps some.

It really just shows all the pieces though, not where they go. I guess ill just do the old trial and error

what is the quality like for the LMC tailgate? Is the metal as thick? How is the fit?

 

[83 BLZR]

Quality seems good. It hasnt been installed on the truck to be put through the paces yet. Metal should be at OEM specs, not really sure. My only complaint thus far is i had to buy a thread tap and retap all of the holes for the bolts.
