F-150 tailgate

Have a family member with a 94 Bronco. He has a new tail gate shell and all the piece parts but is short on funds to get the shell painted. We went to the junkyard to pick up a temporary tail gate. The two we saw were in a pretty sad state.

Is it possible to mount a F150 tail gate instead? We would just use plastic for window for a while.

No. Its too thin and the latches are in the wrong location even if it was deep enough.

Just coat it it primer real well for now and use the new shell he has.

I like the idea to just coat it with primer. Easier, and puts us one step further towards the end result. I'll pick up an epoxy primer later this week.
