I believe he is asking for the aluminum piece that fits on the outside of the tailgate.
It's a large aluminum brushed insert with a red strip on the bottom, with "ford" letters on the right side of the red strip. Simular in style to the one on the 1987-1991 trucks.
A very rare chrome piece indeed. They only were avaliable on 1985-1986 XLT and Lariats. Finding a good one will be difficult.
Wish you luck.

Sorry for the confusion, what Im looking for is exactly what 81-F150-EXPLORER described. I have looked and looked but I have almost enough pieces to make a whole one now all I needed is a ''D''. Until today when I went to the local junkyard and found a complete one in good shape. I might sell the one my truck had eventually but it has no letters but I do have ''F O R'' for it from another truck. If any one is interested I might put it on the classifieds or ebay pretty soon.

I don't believe the 80/86 had the letters off to the side. I am pretty sure that started in 87.
Here is a picture of an 80/86 insert:
an 87/91 insert (this is a Bronco but they are the same except for key hole and missing FORD letters to pass side):
and finally 92/96 (once again - Bronco):
If you are going to part with the letters, send me a PM and let me know how much please before you let em' go.....

Internet parts search: No Ford dealer has one.
greensalescompany.com has one NOS: 800-543-4959
Dennis Carpenter shows 18 of them on his NOS parts site (not the repop site). But these could be repops, dunno.

That's exactly what i want for my truck too.....But as aforementioned,nobody sells em aftermarket and all the junkyards i've been to they're either gone or all broken. Now i believe NPD's got em for 87-96,but i'm not positive.
