Abstract
Tailgate hinge mechanism mounting the tailgate for swingable movement between closed, open and removal positions is designed to allow incorporation of a torque rod which cooperates with the hinge mechanism to assist in opening or closing the tailgate and yet is not a required portion of the hinge mechanism, but if desired may be quickly and easily installed as a unitary mechanism.
