PetesPonies Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 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. ?

1986F150Six Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 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: https://www.ebay.com/itm/80-86-Ford-F150-F250-F350-Tailgate-Trim-Molding-Finish-Panel-Aluminum/164390021072?fits=Year%3A1984%7CModel%3AF-150%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item264668a7d0:g:m4UAAOSwAhtfZRv6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
