Ahhh... I see what you mean. We ran into a similar problem on dobbing the front of mine where the grill mated to the angled fenders. We just did some filling with some angled sheet-metal, but it's nothing structural as a tailgate hinge would be and would take some extra time and thought.
If you were really wanting the tailgate, it might be easier to come up with a new hinge set-up than modify the existing. You can still close the rear off with some tube work and call it good :beer:
