Tailgate Options

My father in law and I went on a charity motorcycle ride today and one of the raffle prizes was this tailgate bench. 4x4 treated lumber, heavy duty with a totally reworked tailgate with custom paint job. I figure, what the heck, I will spend the $10 bucks for tickets and take a chance. And I won.

So do I

Try to sell the bench, get a good tailgate, and use the leftover cash to get carpet?

Or

Spray it to match my truck, use my old tailgate for the bench and keep the bench. I really don't need a bench. Maybe sell the patina bench. The only work I would have to do to it is cut off 4 tabs that were welded on to secure it to the bench frame.

If you need a tailgate and that one is better, I say use it.

September 1966: FoMoCo obsoleted this tailgate, replaced it with the following for use as a "service part replacement."

C7TZ-9940700-A = 1967/72 F100/350.

All the mounting hardware is exactly the same, the only difference is the appearance.

The C7TZ tailgate has smaller FORD letters that are surrounded by a raised ovate scallop line.

I'd keep the bench intact personally. I'm sure you could swap it with somebody who's got a nice tailgate that plans on building a bench out of it if that's your goal.

I vote for painting it to match your truck if you do any football tailgating or parking lot Car /Truck shows.

I agree with Jeff, I'd paint it to match your truck exactly and put it on your porch.
