Do you want it to say Ford? Seems like everyone's does and/or did. I was watching an episode of the 90s TV show Renegade and Lorenzo Lamas met Elvis (sorta) who was riding around in a classic truck that said King on the tail gate. If you're not a stocker, and were building a tough street pounder it would be even tougher if it said King on the tail gate. Just a random thought. Most folks like it saying Ford.

I would be interested to see how they do with your tailgate...please keep us informed of their progress and post pics!

On a related note...a guy in our club had an idea to make the script on his tailgate light up as the "third brake light". It kinda piqued my interest since I do some work with plastics. I am looking at casting a mold of the F1 Ford script so that I can make exact copies of the script to apply to other surfaces...maybe even another tailgate. Since the resin is clear it would make a good lens for a light. Haven't worked out the details yet but a lot will depend on what my fellow club member has in mind for his truck.

I still have the tailgate for sale. If you look in the classified section under exterior body parts, location in ohio there are pictures posted. If you can't get there i would be happy to send pictures.

My trouble is the F2 is wider on the tail, so the F1 tailgates are not wide enough. Don't know if it's supposed to be but it is 4 inches wider.
