Could a piece of round stock be installed/slid all the way through the bottom of the gate for strength and to attach to the bed?? Then for cosmetics just patch up the ends on top of the round stock.

If you are talking tubing it would likely be stronger than stock. I have considered exactly this if I repair my tailgate.
Use round bar stock and it will take 3 people to close it, don't be standing close when you unlatch the thing.

Tube stock or round stock just between the hinges.

Sure wish I could get a stencil/or scan in the exact script of a Mercury Tailgate for letters. At least that way somebody could take a plain smooth tailgate and get letters on it.
