Chevrolet Silverado Tail Gate



Installation of a Stromberg Carlson Tailgate on a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado


Today on our 2011 Chevy Silverado, we'll be test fitting the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate with open design part # VGM-07-100. Before we can install our tailgate, we'll need to assemble the latches. To do this, we'll first remove the cotter pins and install the split rings under the latch. This will be your handle of sorts for the latch locks. Next we'll go ahead and take the machine screws and lock nuts and attach the latch assembly to the tailgate. You set right in the middle of adjustment points on the tailgate.

And tighten it down. Next, we'll install the rubber bumper under the latch. Now, with the driver side assemble, we'll go and repeat the same process in the passenger side. Now, that a Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate is assembled; we go ahead and remove the old or manufacturer's tailgate. Now we're ready to go ahead and install the Stromberg Carlson 5th Wheel Tailgate.

Sliding the driver side on first and then the passenger side, we can now go ahead and close the Stromberg tailgate. To do so, we'll pull back on the D rings and allow it to latch into place. And there you have it, just a few simple steps of going how to assemble and install the Stromberg Carlson 100 Series 5th Wheel Tailgate, part # VGM-07-100 for our 2011 Chevy Silverado.
