can you not just use one normal door lock actuator to do the lock and unlock then a heavy duty solenoid to pop it

Why oh Why didn't i take the blue pill

I've seen kits that are pretty inexpensive(about 30 bucks) thare called a "handle relocation kit". It basically just moves the handle to the inside (facing the bed) of the tailgate, still functions the same. I've seen them in Truckin and Street Truckin magazines.
