I just bought a 93 XLT CC 2wd 7.5l, it was used as a fifth wheel for some time and so when I bought it, it has the fifth wheel style tailgate and this very large chrome bumper with rectangle flood style lights in it. I would rather go back to an original style bumper and definitely want a standard tail gate. I have been searching craigslist for a tailgate but not much available in worthy condition. Are there better re-manufactured parts for these than others? Or should I wait to find something used. Of course I need everything not just the tailgate itself. I appreciate any feedback!
I have yet see a decent aftermarket tailgate, they are much lighter and most bow in the middle just from standing on them, let alone actually using them for work.
I searched for awhile for a nice one up here in the rust belt, but it was worth the wait.
Yeah that's what I assumed, have worked with some after market Mustang stuff most is junk. BTW does your sig imply a Fastback Mustang? I had a 69 I stuffed a 460 in a few years back. It headed out to the Mid West around 1996, had a blast in that car!

Yes, the "Fastback" stands for my favorite car. 1967 Mustang Fastback, which I hope to own some day and the "460" is the engine my truck has.
A 460 in a 69 sounds pretty awesome! A friend of mine has a 460 in his short bed 68 F100 and let's just say it's a lot faster then my 4x4 F250
Finding a nice OEM rear bumper seems to be increasingly difficult. I went with this FEY one from Summit. Its one of the best looking aftermarket bumpers I have seen for our trucks. You will also need a bracket kit.
TexasGuy001 thank you!! Very nice that is what I am looking for. This is what I have currently and would be willing to keep it, there is just too many "dings" on it.
Have you tried searching eBay for a decent original tailgate? I've been looking for a nice original tailgate trim bright strip recently (finally found one) and there were several nice '87-'91 tailgates listed.
As for your 5th wheel gate, just get it repainted if the chips bother you
Thanks man, its not the matter of the paint chipping, I really do not like the 5th wheel tailgate, they seem flimsy. Would rather have a regular truck tailgate and standard bumper like the one TexasGuy posted.
