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!

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:

You can get the tailgate With or Without the step... so there ya go :thumb:

and just so happens that your preference of without the step is cheaper :D

I wasn't trying to point fingers.. It just sounded to good to be true.

And it's not to often that you find someone willing to part out a $50,000 truck.

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
