probably gonna have to grind the heads off and push it in tailgate, or either try to drill it out? curious to see how the shaved gate looks. i wanna shave my gate but dont like the idea of the bed rail caps butting up to the tailgate with no tailgate cap on.
It does look kind of funny if you don't have a cover or anything, especially on a white truck. I have the bedliner sprayed over the top of the tailgate so it's not too bad but it still doesn't line up perfectly with the bed caps. I don't worry about it on my truck because with the cover on it, you only notice it when its open.
^think what ill end up doing is running smoothed and painted bed caps. if not id shave handle and put a tailgate cap on it which i dont think would look good.
I really wanna do mine but I think I might try to find a one that has the top cap that is just stuck on(I wanna say 99-02)and not bolted and then keep mine for if I ever sell the truck or anything
IIRC all the Chevy ones had the bolts and the GMC ones didn't. They all still have the holes though but if you're going to put the flat cap on it that doesn't matter.
