can't believe came out as well as it did considering what had to work with, looks good. Took the opportunity to check out your gallery, nice collection of vintage Fords.

My custom tailgate. (showing off)
Just finished my tailgate. The PO had tacked together a gate out of angle iron, tube, and flat steel. I finished it and welded in the letters.

Thanks.
Could be something crooked, but part of it is probably the odd angles of the picture. I'm redoing the bed and bumper this winter anyhow.

Well, I only have the one 63. It was originally red, now it's black. Should probably redo my galleries. The 64 is long gone and the 87 is a rolling rust bucket, but that 300 I6 is faithful and always starts.

I like it, The crooked bumper is just crooked because of the way your parked. It looks good. I tilted my head one way and it was straight. After looking at how your parked the conclusion was.... Straight. Good job

Great work; looks like it was meant to be there, (tailgate); you might-of starter a aftermarket product for those of us looking for the old bed style tailgate types.
