I bought an '86 D150 and the tailgate won't open with the handle, have to use a screwdriver on the left side catch. How would I go about fixing this?

Shorty treed everyone on that one!

If that don't do it I've only seen one tailgate handle assy wear out in 40+years but you can check while you have it out
