Upgrades and Aftermarket - GeneralUpgrading and adding aftermarket equipment to your 1999-2007 Super Duty. Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are not engine-specific.
This has probably already discussed but.... I have a 02' superduty that I would like to put a 08' tailgate on. I found a new take off tailgate locally for 450.00. I know the drivers side hinge has to be replaced, but is there anything else that has to be changed. Are there plastic bushings that are on each hinge that need to be changed? Part numbers and installation tips would be greatly appreciated.

Just curious what lights you have seen on a tailgate? Ford hasn't run wires into the tailgate for as long as I can remember. No wiring issues at all.

I only had to change the drivers side hinge and adjust the latch points to make it close flush. Pretty easy swap. See my pics below.

My truck is the same color did the factory 2008 silver match your silver or did it have to be re spryed?
