The tailgate is in excellent shape and has all the hardware to go with it. The rubber over the chains is original, I am pretty sure.
I will most likely sell it. Any idea of its value?

WillyB, what a nice looking truck! That sure looks like my tailgate too. Hinges are the same.
I went over to get the tailgate for the 72 I just bought and he still had that tailgate so I picked it up too.
They were up in the attic of his garage, here's a picture of the one for my truck, I washed is and put it on tonight. Looks near new.
If you are interested in the '60 tailgate, PM me. I am not going to make a decision tonight, but will in a few days.

Already emailed you - Looks like you got a nice one for your truck. Just to keep from flying under false colors, that is not my truck, but is an example of what I want my truck to look like.

Well John, its not only the wood trim..my tailgat doesnt have the Trim piece's on it...and it has ford raised in the metal itself... I have the Explorer CS trim package with the rest of the body having both upper and lower trim...but the tailgate is just plain Jane..and it makes the rest of the truck look like crap..cause it doent look like it belongs.. I think I need a tailgate with the flat panel on the back..in order to piece together a nice tailgate..

Rus. Look in my galery. My truck is a 72 F250 Ranger XLT and has the same wood grane tailgate trim on it. I just took it off because it was beat up and painted and I wanted to try and keep the tailgate rust from spreading. I beleve you can see the raised letters. You will have to drill holes to get the peice to fit on tho.
Rubi. Definatly nice score. I searched and all I have is a painted black NOS XLT flat trim. I would love to find a decent wood grane one or maybe rebuild(fix and decal) my damaged one.
