Taigate panel anyone?
Howdy fellas,
I'm in need of the tailgate panel for a 97 F250. I melted mine by accident running a generator that was in a reciever hitch basket facing the wrong way (dope). It had the brushed aluminum with the smokey plastic insert that went full length.(it was sure smoked when I got done with it).
Turns out they're not to be found hardly. Anyone ever fabbed something to cover those holes that looked decent? Looks pretty bad without it, 6 big holes spaced along the middle. Ideas? Jay

WHOOOEE, I checked the local Craigs list just for grins, and BAM, there it was! A fellow about 60 miles away had a brand new listing for one. A little phone tag and we set up the deal, he even met me about halfway. 80 bucks and it's an exact match for the one I smoked! Thank you all for your offers, Jay
btw, he had a Ford F150 with the original 302 all cherried out, nice young fellow and what else can you say, he's a ford truck enthusiast!

I have been looking for a tailgate with one of those ever since I bought my truck... I check craigs list 2-3 times a week.
I did pick up a tailgate but it is a base model one (no finisher) and a bit beat (but much less than most). But for $50... I said why not...
