Tailgate

The tailgate I have is so rusted I don't know if it is ever going to be right.

Has anyone found the Ford Script that can be put on a blank?

I found it for tail lights but not the tailgait.

Tailgates

Have you searched this forum for tailgates? There are a number of very cool posts documenting ideas that members have done.

I have seen a few templates for painting, but really like the script others have had waterjetted. Good luck on finding something that meets your needs and likes.

1953/72: There are two different Flareside tailgates, both have been reproduced.

B7C-8340700-A (replaced BAAA-8340700-A) 49 13/16" long.

B7D-8340700-A (replaced BAAD-8340700-A) 54/13/16" long.

B7D was also used on all 1973/79 Flaresides.

No, not available I think.

If he wants a script (gate or panel) and 53’s and up are only block then why are you giving him that info? (I need more coffee).

I got an early style (48-51 1/2) cheap from Texas (still had the dirt) off eBay. I just checked eBay (restricted to Canada available) and could not find any at this time but they do show up often. Maybe check USA available 48-52 or older if you just want to cut out the script piece?

Any tailgate from a 48-52 F2/F3 will work.

I have two 51-52 F1 tailgates in good shape, but they'll only be useful for the script in your case.
