I was a bit surprised when I took the FORD panel off and found FORD stamped underneath it.

That's because all the tailgates were made the same and had FORD stamped on them for the Custom model. The upgraded panels, chrome, etc. was just put over the base tailgate.

Have fun with the restoration!

A little spit and elbow grease and that bed should turn out pretty nice for you.

Looks good. It'll be nice when it's done. And same thing here, I didn't know the tailgates with the chrome FORD panel was just placed over the stamped FORD. I was surprised when I saw that too on mine.

Weld them up and grind flat.

Lol, you say that as if it's something easy to do. I could only imagine how horrific it would look after I tried a stunt like that.

Go to the junk yard and get some chrome stuff to practice on.

LOL it's not too bad, but practice before you try it on your truck :D
