I just fixed my tailgate, we'll see how long it lasts. After wire-wheeling all the rust out I primered the crap out of it. Then I put 3 layers of fiberglass in then bondo'd it smooth and painted. I may start checking junkyards for a tailgate though. What tailgates will fit on a 2000 F-250? I'm thinking at least the 99's through 2003 model Superdutys. Anybody know?
