Nuthin to it, but to do it. Before you put that new gate on, I would paint the whole inside of it, with some kind of bedliner. Whatever you choose, make sure it covers every square inch inside

Run a good bead of RTV along the bottom of the sheet metal seam inside the tail gate. This is where the water collects and starts to rust the bottom of your tail gate. Don't cover the drain holes of course.
