Can I have the yellow cap off the top. One of the employees threw something heavy down on the tail gate and snapped the yellow knob right out of the top. Lol

The stripper pole delete was the second mod I did after I got the truck. Renders the tailgate completely useless as a workbench (among other things). Yanked off the pole and the plastic tailgate liner. Installed the "Tailgate Access Cover" Ford part #YL3Z9943121AA. Took it to Line-X and had the tailgate sprayed. Pretty good match with the factory bed spray. $55 for the access cover and $150 to spray. Worth every penny.

I hung on to the pole and plastic tailgate liner for a while, thinking that I'd re-install or sell them someday. Got tired of them kicking around the shop and ended up recycling them.

Just noticed I was in the 6.4 Forum. The part number above is for a '12 6.7...
