1955 F250

What years tailgates will interchange with a '55 F250?
It's wider than the F100.
I saw somewhere that these are all the same up to 1979?

Mike, welcome to FTE the best Ford truck Forum on the World Wide Web!

Ford stopped making flareside beds after the 1972 model year. Then they started making them in, I think, in 1976. I think these flareside beds had the F250 size tailgate.

Trivia note: these beds from 1976 to whenever did not have the flare that the 1953-72 beds had. The top of the bed was squared off at a 90° angle.

Welcome to FTE

You might try Terry's F-100s in Nebraska. Terry's F-100 Parts Stromsburg, NE 68666 I've never been but Kevin makes frequent parts runs out there. I bought a F250 tailgate by accident at a swap meet a couple of years back. So they're out there used. Also for new ones Mid West Early Ford usually has them. https://midwestearlyford.com/wp-cont...uckCatalog.pdf Page 94
