Remove the inner panel so you can see the mechanism. A big pair of channel locks will squeeze the arms together to get the endgate open. The handles are cheap and readily available at auto parts stores. |

This guy needed more than a handle and channel locks. No idea why you didn't see the video though. |

During the first part I thought that the shift in the load had merely pulled a container off the chassis. Then the camera moved to the front and I saw cab and all had been ripped off the frame. The tailgate on my F150 has never stuck but it's best to approach it with a can of wasp spray in the summer. The little *******s love to build a nest behind the handle. |

There are cases - even here in the modern world - where a dump truck operator - when unloading - fails to check that the load is moving - if it's sticky clay that has been in the truck all night - it will stick in the dump box and tip the truck backwards !
