Tailgate handle [E5TZ-9943400-B] - NOS


Recommended Posts

Pffft!....

Real tailgates have chains!!:nabble_anim_blbl:

Just kiddin.:nabble_smiley_whistling:

Ain't nothing wrong with simplicity!

Ended up getting it for the minimum bid.

With shipping still cheaper than the Dorman!

Thanks again 1986F150Six!

"I just love it when a plan comes together!" And, you are welcome.

Here is the Dorman,Help! handle:

Here is the OEM handle I got in this thread:

Looks pretty much the same, so something is a little crooked. Or just the way it is, didn't notice when I took the old one off. The upside and a big one to me is that the OEM handle works much better.

The aftermarket had a catch on the right side when opening it.

Maybe something in the tailgate is slightly off?

In my limited experience the NOS handles have been much sturdier than the Dorman ones.
