What's wrong with the big huge letters? They're my favorite part.
NPD sells repro tailgates for 87-96 without the letters for $250 with the handle and latches and all hardware. You'd just have to paint it to fit. The repros don't come with the predrilled holes for the "bright" center bit that has the FORD or blue oval on it.
You can pick up a tailgate from a truck newer than yours (until 96) from a wrecker that'll fit but you'd have to remove the center bit and fill the mounting holes.

What are the dimples at the four corners of your panel??
