does the shaved tailgate have a rescess for a license plate? If not, I''d just replace it with a new tailgate. It would be extremely hard to move the latching mechanism from the popper to a handle unless it was a stock tailgate to begin with.

it was stock to start with, the guy just shaved the handle and cut a hole on the inside and just never put a handle or poppers on it so u have to reach in the hole and pull the 2 rods to open it.
