OT: Rebuilding a fence gate

Fellow Saabnetters, I'm looking for some fence advice. My mother-in-law has a gate in her fence, which is made up of 4' steel posts with nylon coated mesh. The gate itself is falling to bits. It consists of a pair of decaying 1x6' boards sunk into concrete bases, with the hinge on one side and the latch on the other. The gate is a wood frame with a steel mesh. The gate itself I'll just rebuild, that's easy enough to duplicate.
What I'm not sure about is replacing the upright wood posts it attaches to. Digging out the concrete and putting in some 4x4's is possible but a lot of labor. Could I cut off the 1x6's at the ground, and use a standoff of some type to place the 4x4 above the concrete? The concrete base is about 6-8" round.
