Tailgate Panel Installed

[Raptor22]

Best I know... This style was only ever used on Bronco's (with a keyhole punched into the left side). All the late 9th gen F-series trucks that I'VE seen, were black strips with FORD letters. Earlier ones had a red plastic stripe instead of black.

Right, I knew that part, but was curious about the Fseries. I guess you just confirmed what I already thought. My truck has a red stripe on the back, the writing is a little different too.

Doesn't your truck have the red stripe? YUCKO!

 

[BlondeGurli]

you won't get as much as I paid for it bc his is brand new. You could get anywhere from $75-200 on ebay, I'd assume. His was more than double that though. I vote for just keeping it, Jurgen.

Brad told me a story about how he took in his 86 Ranger to get a replacement decal put on, and he was angry when they had put on the subtly different decal from an 87 Ranger. He complained about it and they explained that the 86 decal had been discontinued since the 87 decal was considered a suitable replacement. I'm assuming that these panels are the same scenario-- the block letters were continued because the oval is considered a "suitable replacement."

I am going to guess, and this is only a guess, that Ford ran out of the block letters and rather than reorder them (I'm sure there would be a minimum that was way too much) from their supplier and given the vintage of the trucks they go on, a suitable replacement was made with the 'in production' blue oval.

Why not get a F-150 for the other side? (could probably use vynl, or find block letters...)

Thats what I said, find a 95 badge, or use an 09, that would be cool.

He's got the vinyl plotter. With some chrome vinyl, he can make almost any font and size imaginable... Hell, he could even personalize the thing with "Skankster" or whatever...

Is that an alum piece or stainless? Is it glued on or screwed, bolt? Very sharp getting that from the two women who obviously love you most.

No more 'junkyarding' for you.

Hell Mike, you're the one that named him!!!

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Hell Mike, you're the one that named him!!!

HAHAHA! And i do take great pride in that

 

[Skandocious]

Tyl I do believe it's aluminum, doesn't seem heavy enough to be stainless but then again I know nothing about metals And it's bolted on.

 

[Mr. Stroker]

Brushed aluminum maby?

 

[Skandocious]

Yeah that was my thought, Mike.

 

[Mr. Stroker]

If you tap it with your finger nail you can tell it aint stainless. Seams to fimsy and light, but yet how does it not rust or look nasty after the many years of salt? Mine still looks like brand new.

Sooo Brushed Stainless? Maby... lol
