WTB an original steel tailgate for my 56. Ideally code to Northern CA for quick delivery or pickup. Thanks

 

B7C-8340700-A (replaced BAAA-8340700-A) .. Tailgate - 49 13/16" long, use with 110" wheelbase (short bed) / Reproduced

Applications: 1953/72 F100 Flareside.

 

Be careful you don't get a long bed model by mistake. It's bigger but at a glance looks very similar. The width is the giveaway.

 

Thanks guys. Looking for a used one from a parts truck. Thanks for the tip

 

Personally I would spend the extra cash and get a repop...Carpenter makes some really accurate tailgates and they are just as heavy as the OEM. To me there's nothing worse than following a nice F100 down the road and looking at a wavy tailgate.
