rear tailgate handle on my '91 burb

does anyone have a clue as to why GM used a left hand tread for the adjustment bolt on the handle on the tailgates?
What a bright idea that was! is there a reason for that? and can i just tap it to right hand treads and use a normal bolt? or will i have to get the correct bolt for it to work correctly?
Thanks

Generally they do this because the use will allow it to unbolt. Where on the handle, that ACTUAL handle?
