Will the '08 Tailgate fit on the back of an '01. I really like that step up and bar. Could go out and measure myself...but young guys with a tape measure would probably be frowned upon at the dealership.
yea it will fit but you have to get a different hinge bracket for the drivers side of the tailgate where it rotates. Heck I'm only 21 and I grabbed one and slapped it on the truck!
check out this write-up I did for my 2008 Non-step tailgate conversion.
it will tell you everything you need to know. the step version cost way too much. the step part alone cost over 400.00 and the handle cost over 100.00 and the tailgate assembly is completely diff. from the non-step version.
I don't think it's all that "Manly" to use a step to get into the bed of your truck. I guess I'm alone on that one. To each his own. I do like the big "SUPERDUTY" on the back, though
well I was offered the tailgate for 200 bucks so I jumped on it because I have the 08 tailights too and I really liked the big ford emblem and the superduty at the bottom and since it has the step I might as well put it to good use! :thumb:
Yeah it works bigwhite7.3stroker put one on his it looks nice with that SUPERDUTY on the back I think there are a couple other guys that have done this also
Oh no I understand totally it was a rare find for sure! His wasn't an 08 and judging by the way he talked it was probably stolen but I dont know for sure but theres no way of telling so oh well I guess it was silver when I took it off his truck and i had it painted to match first thing!:thumb:
good find man that great and for 2 bills I would jump on it, but for list price I wouldnt think twice about doing that to my truck I rarely put my tailgate down to get it the back. I just step in the receiver hitch and then the bumper then ofer the top. Time is money ha ha
really good find though
