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.

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.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
