Newer [1988] tailgate protector kit [E8TZ-99402K19-A] - NOS


Recommended Posts

Well, the E6 # appears to be the right one. I'm guessing that the profile of the tailgate changed in '87.

I have one of those on my tailgate. I thought it was aftermarket but that's cool that they were offered as a Ford accessory.

Gary, you are correct, the 87-96 tailgates are a little more rounded on the top edge.

Nice find!

I don't know that I've seen a Ford factory one.

For our trucks:

Shame it's not for ours but like Shaun said, the profile is different and they won't fit - I've tried just to know for sure.

Guess they could have been the oem supplier also (?) but DeeZee made smooth and diamond plate ones. I don't think the smooth DeeZee ones I have contain the grooves like in the photo above or the 88 so that looks like a way to differentiate.
