Next . . looking for a tailgate...

PetesPonies
Would like to use a Bullnose tailgate on my '96. At th least a Bricknose with embossed letters. I know the Bullnose will mean all pivots and attaching hardware as well. Anyone have anything? I'm in SC. Rear concour bumper is mounted . . .not using the one pictured permanently, but fits well.

Hopefully, someone will have what you need and are close by, since freight can be expensive. I just had an idea... since you seem to be wanting an "old school" original appearance, what about adding an insert to the current tailgate?

Something like this:

Well I do not like the smooth aluminum covers/inserts .  . . any year  .  . . yuk  :)  But I do have a panel from a bumpside I can use. That thought has already crossed . . .but I'd still rather have an older tailgate  . What I have is something like this :  



I did this to my Bronco tailgate . . but don't want to get into this again on this '96. It's a lot of work  :)
