2008 F250 Tailgate Question

I want to swap out my tailgate for one without the step option. Anyone have a good source for a black tailgate in excellent condition?

I assume if I find one I can swap out the locks so my key will still work with the new gate.

Is a tailgate with a step more desirable than one without?

Thanks for any help

Josh

I love my tailgate with the step. So much easier to get in and out of the bed.

I thought I listed where I lived, but I didn't.

I am just North of Indianapolis

I like the idea of the step, but sliding stuff in and out of the bed I would rather have the flat tailgate.

Black tailgate with step?

Do you still have this tailgate? I am looking for a black one with step. Just bought a truck with a black one without a step. Would be willing to trade. Do you have pictures? I also work for a company that hauls freight and could ship them for free. Let me know if your interested and we can exchange info and pictures. Thanks!

I bought one of these for my truck, it works great and took 5 minutes to install. The DEBO Truck Tailgate Step - Homepage

My new truck didn't have that option on it when I bought it, but it would have been nice to have. I put one of these on instead and it works great.

Upgrading to this was probably my favorite mod. I found one on Craigslist for 7 bills and the tail lights for 100. Love them.

Heck, that's nothing. Recently, someone resurrected one on the classic chevy forum after 11 years! 2 1/2 years, that's like a week!
