I have an 85 Chevy that ive been playing around with but i cant decide what to do about the tailgate. Everything on this truck is chevy but the gate is gmc. It has gmc rasied in the metal on the driver side. I was thinking about cutting that section out and welding in one of those recessed license plate holders like they did on one of the "trucks" episodes.... what do you all think?

Depending on how good you are you could cut some metal and weld your own skin over the recessed area or you could buy a skin for around $100.
