My 68 gmc tail gate ( single wall ) is warped . It was over loaded with only one chain and the weight put a warp in it. Is there any way to get it out ?
If you lay it on a flat floor the hinge side lays flat but the chain end at one end is up off the floor.

not sure how perfect ya want to get it but quite some time ago i had similar in a shortbed i owned. i put a block of wood between tailgate latch and bed opposite the side i wanted to push in and did some pushing. didnt take much to pop it back.

^^ this would be my first try. it must be a stepside box as my 68 fleetside had a double wall construction.

mine was an 81 chevy shortbed. the tailgate was pretty light- compared to the one on my 95 f150. i think that one weighed about 80 lbs. |
