tailgate piece...
i have a 95 f150 and i am looking for a piece for the tailgate. the piece i am after is the aluminium piece in the middle of the gate, with the black plastic trim that says FORD on it. is there anywhere online where i can find it?? i was pulling someone out of a snowdrift and had a cable snap (didnt know it was a cable at the time) and bust the hell out of my tailgate. any info would be great. thanx!

tailgate part..
The aluminum center piece is only sold by ford. I recently damaged mine and the only place to get it was from ford. you may be able to get it from a salvage yard in your area the insurance co the was repairing mine purchased a complete gate with center panel on it. I rejected it because the panel had some inperfections and they had to buy new one from ford. that is the reason I did not do the repairs myself because of the cost for gate and trim panel (center)

www.car-part.com may help find one. The trim piece is only available from ford. Keep an eye on ebay. Ive seen them several times.

Be careful if you buy a whole new tailgate. The aluminum piece you are refering to comes on the XLt models, Make sure you are getting that piece with the tailgate.
