Some one also put a 08 tailgate on as well... Can't remember who it was though.. They had to do some mod's to it so it would fit.. but got it on there !! maybe do a search for it.. it was posted on this forum a while back !!

Yep, 99-07 are the same.
You can put an 08 tailgate (lots of guys like the OEM ones with the "SUPER DUTY" in the tailgate, and/or the optional step) on if you swap the bracket on the driver's side of the truck.

Thanks guys I was pretty sure it would fit but wanted to make sure before I ended up with a gate that wouldn't fit.

Will a tailgate from a 2005 also fit a 2001?

Did you experience the tailgate sticking out on a 99-07 truck?
I've never heard that, nor seen that......seems to sit even to me?

I have never done the mod myself, but in looking at the pictures of people who have they all say they stick out slightly. No body ever says it is a big problem. Most say you will now know unless you are looking for it.
Edit - Here is a link to the first guy I saw do the mod on FTE. There have been many more since. To paraphrase "...Fitment is great if youre really pickey you'll notice that it bows out a little more at the tailights. probaly because the thicker tailights in the 08..." That is one link, but there are many more how to write ups if you do a search.

TAILGATE BRACKET...... What is it for ????
'08 F-250 8'bed Extended (Super) Cab
I have the step tailgate and on the right side bottom edge, attached to the hinge bracket is a finger that sticks out and moves between another piece mounted on the body itself. It could be that this has something to do with the step but since the two parts do not make contact with eachother at any time, I am wondering what the purpose of the two brackets is. (????)
