I "got by" with cheaper ones for a couple of rounds. Then I gave up and bought a Handy. That's a good 'un. Their website doesn't make it clear which model number fits our SuperDuty pickups, but my dealer knew how to order the right one. Fits perfect. http://www.handyindustries.com/shop/...D=2&page=2

Here is a link to the best price that I've found for a Handy V-gate. $243.00 + $25.00 shipping [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]
AZ Trucks are great to deal with [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img].

Hope this helps, Bob
