dbrods did alot of them iirc.

im doing one soon as well and have been thinking about this but im going to do it simple , latch and hinges cut out from the bed. i have a bed rug in my truck so it will be easy to make look good , some razor blade and velcro it will be completely hidden , i can now shave my stock fuel door on the bed when i get to repaint the truck. wish i had some extra time to get started on this .

How about welding and smoothing the tailgate shut, getting a solid cover like a snugtop, are, *******'s etc, and having the filler on the tailgate where the handle "used to" be

Finally got mine done. The bolt is just temp to use as a handle to open it. Still gotta think of something to replace it. I just used a small hinge from home depot and tack welded it so that there are no other bolts sticking out.

I like it, simple and clean. I'm thinking of a summit 20 gallon fuel cell.
