08+ Tailgates step vs no step internals

[agjake11]

Does anyone by chance know if the internals will swap from a tailgate with step to one without the step?

gonna be picking up a gate with step and camera but my current 08+ gate without step is my color. if i could swap the internals and save paint id like to.

Going out on a limb here, but I would think it would. Ford probably makes one tailgate structure and just bolts onto it what it calls for.

I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

thats what im hoping. i imagine i could remove the cap and unbolt the step assembly and mount it in the other shell and be good to go but just wanted to see if it had been done before i get the other tailgate.
