before you buy try locating a certifit outlet ,they sell the same replacement tailgate like that for about half that price,I am sure they are all chinese made so metal will be thinner but a good price.

That 'gate looks naked without the embossed letters.
1967's use the exact same tailgate as 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972 F100/350 short and long bed Styleside pickups (C7TZ9940700A).
Since the same tailgate fits all these years, it's not that hard to find used.
A Ford dealer: Auburn Motor Sales in Auburn Indiana has a used "take off" = 260-925-3100 = Ford part number C7TZ9940700A
The 1967/72 tailgate has been REPRODUCED by Dennis Carpenter. He has 113 of them in stock.

It's very hard to find one that has no rust.
I find it hard to put much time and money in to a rusty part if I can a find new one. Yes $500 + freight to have the Ford embossed instead of just the stickers is to much over the $189.+ And I called Certifit They sell it for $89 hahah but don't have one in stock can't tell Me when They will LOL. They told Me to call New World or Keystone.
As I have started looking for parts for My Sons 74 and My 67 I find most of these trucks are gone do to the high price of scrap iron. They have just disappeared in the last year I'm really sadden over it now new parts are it.

You might contact FTE member Gangstakr, he sells rust free CA sheetmetal, and hangs out in the 1961/66 forum.

I called them yesterday when I saw this part number on their website: C7TZ9940700A .. Tailgate / Fits: 1967/72 F100/350 Styleside Pickups.
I asked them if this was an original FoMoCo tailgate, they said no, it's a Dennis Carpenter reproduction.
