Default New aftermarket tailgate and inside handle relocation

Bought a new tailgate, had it painted and installed it with a inside handle
relocation kit from LMC Truck.

Cleaner look (no FORD) on the rear gate and no handle showing...

That looks really nice, did you do the body work and paint? Or did you outsource it to a shop.

Default Body shop did the welding of the old handle and the painting

I installed the relocation kit and exchanged the inside parts from the old tailgate into the new one and put it onto the truck. Had to do a little adjusting as the
old tailgate had been bent in the middle from use all these years.

I am happy with the look and the added security....wish the rest of the trucks
paint looked as good as the tailgate...
