Like others have said, I would much rather have a great original Ford tailgate than a reproduction. This one seems to be a base Custom tailgate, (no stainless trim), if thats what you are looking for, no trim holes to fill. The price is somewhat high, but if you have a damaged one, repairing your one , can easily cost more than that this one for sale, and you still have a repaired part. And if your tailgate is missing, buying a rusty, damaged one , and then having it repaired is that much more. Now, if you need to aquire or repair a damaged one, and this tailgate just happened to be the same color, (yeah, I know, very unlikely), this is almost priceless.
