What have you done to your square lately??

@82sbshortbed are there screws on the inside of the tailgate in the recessed panels? That is how my 76’s tailgate band is held on.

Yeah, should either be phillips head or torx screws on the inside, should be 4 of them

I know i can't make it perfect but I believe I can make it better. Hitting it with some Sunmight 1000 today on the ROS. Dry. Just getting started so this might take a minute. 1500 and 3k to come after.

I’ve done a few things on my truck lately but this has been the coolest/most useful. It’s a flip down step so you can get up into the engine bay easier. I guess its usefulness depends on how good your tuck is running but for me its been great!

Be careful on them edges. Especially if you’re power sanding. You’ve been flirting with danger there.
And don’t try to get them scratches out.
Also keep at the 600-1000 until all the orange peel is gone.
If you go finer than 1200-1500, you’re past being productive with finer grit, IMO. You said it yourself, not a show car and med/heavy cut compound will take out 1200 scratches.
I’ve learned this because I’m a better sander than painter…lol.

Sanded and primered the bottom of the tailgate before the rain hit.
Anyone know how to pop off the tailgate insert? That would be easier for me to sand and paint.

Should be four screws on the backside securing it, carefully remove screws so it comes off, you may need an impact screw driver if too tight.
