87-97 will go right on and line up perfect
87-91 PLAIN gates have FORD stamped into them
XLT and Lariat trucks have the aluminum with a red reflector
92-96 XLTs have the aluminum as well but have a black reflector

It was my understanding that 1987 and 1988 were the only years that had the FORD letters stamped into them. I had a tough time finding a NOS tailgate for mine.

No. All 87-91 had the ford stamped into them. Even the ones with the aluminum had them, but they were covered

If you get a replacement from LMC or such it will not have the letters stamped. They also weigh a lot less than NOS.

Aftermarket gates are OK for they typical grocery getter. But dont plan on actually using one. They fold up like a pretzel

I've got a white tailgate from a 88 Lariat (aluminum w/ red). Not mint but in nice shape. I'm in San Diego. I'll let it go for cheap...

I put a big dent in the original tailgate, right in one of the letters. Very hard to fix. bought one from LMC until I could find the right one. It took years, and was expensive to finally get a NOS one in the box and have it painted to match. Huge weight difference between the LMC one and NOS.
