Angry Just an idle question...

I've been doing quite a bit of looking for a unibody recently, and there are quite few out there. But I have to ask... WHY IS EVERY FLIPPIN' ONE MISSING THE TAILGATE?
Thanks for letting me vent... carry on.

C1TZ-6640702-C .. 1961/63 F100/250 Uni Tailgate - 66 19/32" long / Obsolete/Reproduced?

At one time, someone reproduced this tailgate, but I don't recall who.

The tailgate was poorly designed. Open seams at the top of the tailgate allowed dirt and moisture to enter.
The lower corners near the hinges are almost always rotted out.
This is the best tailgate I’ve ever seen

I have a green tailgate problem....
Bought my black uni without a tailgate. A few years later a nice guy stopped by and gave me a light green tailgate for it.
Years later I bought a grey short bed uni trailer, it came with another light green tailgate. I can find uni tail gates thier just always "light green".

As a side note, as Instig8r says, they always need the lower corners repaired...

I have a unibody tailgate I have no use for. It's white. Very nice shape except someone welded on a couple verticle support bars on it. They look ok but are easily removed.
