I know the 08-10 tailgates are an upgrade for us, but do the 11-13 fit to? Found a hell of a deal on one, and want to be sure before jumping on it.

Thanks guys

 

yup, any tailgate fits. i have a '13 on my truck

 

Thanks. Figured it would. And from what I know theres not a difference in the F250 and F350.

 

That is correct

 

What part of this setup needs to be changed to fit? The latches, strickers, I know there was something.

 

Drivers side hinge needs to be swapped...ive heard it was like $14 at the ford dealership. Also if you want the lock function to work, you can just swap your key cylinder out of your old tailgate. It fits right into the new one

 

So the pin it latches to. Need to get one off a 11-13 I'm taking it

 

I was looking at a late-model tailgate with that step thing in it. I tried it on Stinky, and the tail lights didn't have the same profile as the tailgate. It wasn't a big deal, the tailgate would function - but that profile mismatch was a little funky. My canopy wouldn't work with the top lip, so that was the end of looking at a newer tailgate (with "Superduty" across the bottom).

 

dont mind the wrong colored trim...someday

 

If I do this, it will bug me until I upgrade the lights and rear bumper. But my tailgate now barely opens as it is, and I can't buy a new 2000 model tailgate for as cheap as this guy is selling his with a step and camera for.

 

Nice differential cover... I wish mine said Riffraff... but time was the issue for me.

 

While on the subect, anyone know of a good place to get one of the 08 tailgates? with the step. Ive been trying, but with no luck.

 

I went down the street from my work to a place that installs truck bodies and plows and all that and they had probably 30 white 2013 tailgates on a pallet. $400 out the door with a bag of all the hardware/hinges

 

This is my new step bumper option - I am real happy with it



Amp Research step. Down








Just give it a kick on the bottom & it folds up- Spring loaded to close

 

Well got the tailgate, and it's in great shape. Got the driver side hinge on the way home, so should be good to go. It was a 120 mile round trip to pick it up, but for 300 bucks with a step and camera it was worth it to me.
