Looking into making some hinges, or getting some heavy duty guys, but haven't gone 100 percent either way yet.

I will take some pix of the tailgate today. It just hangs on the two pins that are for the struts and I just made two metal tabs to screw the gate to the bed. For the dually, I am thinking about swinging it out from the side or splitting it in the middle and swinging it out from both sides like the gate on some of the Mini Coopers.

Hi, May I receive an email with the "how to" for converting an HHR to truck? Thanks, Shawn

Good luck with the conversion. I am the guy who did the little red one that you see in the gallery. I have lots of pictures of the construction progress if you are interested. I can email them to you if interested. There are a few pictures in the gallery under the heading of "Bob's finished pickup truck".

Hi Shawn, it would be better for you to send Bob a private message. He hasn't been on the site for nearly a year, and he's probably not subscribed to this thread.
