Is that a step coming out of the tailgate? Is that stock?

Why?

I've been in contact with a guy on craigslist looking for some mirrors. He said that he was getting another truck and is supposed to call me when it comes in. If he has a good tailgate I'll post it up.

Is the 2008 tailgate a direct transfer to our 7.3's?
