Default Can you add the tailgate step and stripper pole?

Can you order the parts and add them?

I found a truck but it is missing the tailgate step and the stripper pole.

I know I could swap out tailgates but trying to find a cheaper method of doing it.

Thanks

That is the fold up handle that comes with the tailgate step. Sorry, it is my slang term.

Can be useful and adds some more fun, during tail-gate parties.

Why do you want it? It takes way more time to pull it out and flip up the handle than to just step on the bumper and get into the truck. I'll never understand the step and handle thing, unless you have a camper shell and you are using it for truck camping. Even then the handle would never be used.

i believe he is talking about the step that pulls out of the tailgate and the pole that pulls up from the tailgate on the newer f150's. i am not sure if u can add the actual ford step, but i know other companies that make a tailgate step. if you google search tailgate step, there are several that come up

My younger kids would like it if I had one. Help them get to their sport stuff easier.

Well that's the first sensible answer I have heard on this issue yet. Get it done then!
