Rear tailgate ideas?

[BlitzK5]

Anyone install one of thoose rear tailgates these use on trucks with 5th wheels or any other ideas. I am looking to install one on my 82 to get rid of the weight of the original taligate and still be able to keep my goodies from falling out. Has anyone found a direct fit or one thtt can be easily modified and what model and brand would it be?

I have seen them on some farm trucks locally, Have you tried Tractor Supply, or Co-op

google "fifth wheel tailgates", I got a bunch of links.

this web site shows they have one, but the picture w/ the product doesn't match. http://parts-worldllc.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=31268

I'm thinking ~1" square tube and some expanded mesh... if you don't have a welder, find a member local to you who does, and bring beer
