Does anyone know what the name of the woodgain ford used for the tailgate panel? Also, where can I get some?

 

Hey guys, thanks for all those replys. I had to find out what the type of woodgrain came on ranger xlt's from another web site. Come to find out, is Burl Walnut that is special to the xlt's. Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks for the info, I too have a 70 Ranger xlt. You have brought something to the forum that no one else knew. The sarcasm on the other hand is not needed.

 

Would you pass the info regarding the tail gate wood grain on to me as well - I need to replace it on my '70 XLT.

Thanks,

Ok, I give up. Does anyone know of a source for a factory correct vinyl replacement for the tailgates on an XLT?

 

i was able to get it at the counter at dennis carpenter in charlotte.they use it to repop the side mouldings.this was back in 02. give em a call,can't hurt.

 

Thanks "Sandman". I'll give DC a call Monday.

 

i may still have enough to do a tailgate out in the shed.i'll have to look. they sold me a nice roll of it.i did a 70 xlt frame off back in 01. just sold it to my brother, miss it already.

 

That would be great if you still have enough to do a tailgate. Just as soon buy from you and not have a whole bunch left over.

Let me know and thanks!!

 

i'll go measure whats left and make sure i have enough to do your tailgate tomorrorow and get back to you.

 

No rush. I appreciate you taking the time.

i do have enough to do one more tailgate.however i would like to keep this for my truck.please call dennis carpenter first and see if he will sell you some. also the piece i have has a manufacturers number and phone number on it.kux graphic systems,45065 michigan ave,canton michigan,734-394-0363.try and see if you can get it from one of these sources.if not i will sell you my piece.

 

Not a problem Sandman. I will call It.kux graphic and/or DC and see if I can get some. As I said, it's for a "backup" tailgate anyway so it's not imperative that I have it right away.
I really do appreciate you taking the time to look though - and thanks for the leads.

HA - I haven't been called "son" in a long, long time. I'm 59 - but thanks just the same "pops"!
