I have an estimate from a local truck repair to replace the lift gate deck on my truck. It's shot. $2500. Not horrible bad but since this is a first for me I don't know if that's a good or bad price. Just replacing the deck. Nothing else.
I'd like to remove the old deck myself because I like doing this kind of stuff and I have a new bottle of fuel I'm itching to use. I also plan to keep the deck for some other use or just scrap it. From what I see, there are just two hinges, one on each side, that need to be cut.
Does that sound like a reasonable plan, to cut off the hinge? Or is there a lot more to this job than I'm seeing? I know enough not to cut through the upright flanges or brackets on the lift assembly. I'll clear this with the repair shop before moving ahead with this plan. They may have other ideas.
See attached photos, and thanks in advance for any thoughts.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
