You'll have to post some pictures of your mod... along with any improvements you make.Thanks for the info. You did a nice job on it I also like how the struts tuck up in the hood. I like your results. looks like another mod on the list.

Mine are on RivNuts. My top was originally an ambulance door top also.
I had an older top as a guide. There’s a thread in my signature line that includes pictures and measurements.
The top bolts down into the top of the header bar... there should be threaded holes. If not, rivnuts should work fine.
As for the lower gate it’s a gate and tire rack combination. I still need to seal and weatherstrip it to the hatch, it hasn’t been a high enough priority so far.
One option would be to use cables frame a Ranger/Mazda truck. Something with a smaller tailgate... rather than starting from scratch.
For the tub side I’d use some heavy bar inside the Channel above the fender. Either weld it in or bolt it through with an extra carriage bolt or two.
On the gate, likely angel iron brackets.
That day could be just around the corner. I’m not sure if the tailgate would need extra support, but you can run something extra across (or inside) it if needed. Post some pictures if you need more ideas... I’ve never seen a tailgate in person, so my ideas are limited and not super specific.
