Explorer Sport Trac Tailgate in Flareside Bed
For those of us with a SCrew or Flareside, I saw this in the parking lot today.
I didn't speak with the owner about modifications, but it looks (somewhat) clean and could be a good alternative if you can't find a tailgate.

Also that lower body line is just trim. Can't remember if you can remove it or not.

You have to give the owner of the truck some credit coming up with the idea that it would work. I give the guy a 5 or originality and a 3.5 for looks. A dark color might not look too bad. Still, quite a neat find to keep a tailgate on your fs or screw. If it was the same color, it would of hardly been a noticable difference. The lower line would be absorbed by the taillights, and is on a perfectly straight line at the bottom, so being the same color as the box, might of made this a neat little replacement. It's like the SD logo on the 08's and up SD's with the step design. It looks strange on Gen 10's with the SUPER DUTY word insert.

I did a quick paint match in photo shop. Looks better but that body line still throws me off. Anyways, in a pinch make do with what works.
