Flareside tailgate for sale

[Ford F834]

I ran across this on a Facebook group. It’s a little rough but priced cheaper than most. It’s in Atlanta GA, $190. The seller ships also. I actually bought a flareside tailgate from this guy a couple years ago, and had a pleasant experience working with him.

That is a decent deal. There is another red one on Ebay at the moment, but it is local pick up and I forget the price;).

If you ever come across any clean Flareside parts, I'm looking for a set of step brackets....or at the very least, the driver's side step bracket. Mine was patched back together at some point in the past, and I'd rather have the proper part.

There is actually a set on Ebay right now in AZ, and at a fair price, but it looks like the seller doesn't ship outside the US. He has communication disabled, so I can't even message him to ask. Maybe I should just try to buy them and see what happens...but like anything else, I don't want to go through with the purchase without knowing what the shipping will cost.

Do you need the whole step or just the brackets? This is at my local junkyard... steps have damage but I could check the condition of the brackets if you want.

Just the bracket(s), and really just the driver's side I think. I'll crawl under mine again tomorrow and have a look. I know I need the driver's side bracket for sure. The pass side might be OK.

Okay, let me know what you need and I will try to get back there early this coming week and see if the junkyard bracket(s) are any good.

Looks like my RH side bracket is OK, so I really just need the left/driver's side bracket.

Okay, I’ll try to get out there as soon as I can a I will grab that if it’s in good shape.

I pulled the bracket and sent you an e-mail
