O sorry about that i didn't realize your truck was pre 92. But what would work for a 92 would work for anything down to 1987 I'm sure! The box's are the same.

Tailgates are interchangeable 87-96/7 so the tiregates should be as well

Does anyone know how much they cost from tiregate?? I looked all over the website and I didn't see a price for them for the 92-96 that and they don't have em listed for f150s but 92-96 all f series are the same correct. Body wise anyway

Ya bodies the the same! They probably used a f250/350 for mockup and design and might not realize that the 150 is the same body.

Damn need to keep up with this...

Tiregates are really expensive, i believe over $1200. So i just designed and built my own. Same basic idea though, but mine is better

I am going to build a couple of these tire carriers and put them in a local offroad shop, I need to think about what i got in them but i think I can offer them for about $575, $475 if I get at least 3 guys who put down minimal deposits, like $25 (no money until they are ready to ship though), add $75 if you want it powder coated (any color, within reason). All you have to do is drill 8 holes, it would literally take less than 30 minutes to install it.

1990 5.0 4x4
Bed mounted radiator, slightly difficult, still working on it though.... i need to do dual fans and a shroud. the hard part was the fabricating the new "core support", but even that wasn't that bad, maybe 5 hours into all of it total. get back to that later though. LUCKY!!!???? WTF? i have spent several hundred hours building this truck, as well as several fistfulls of hard earned dough, i have literally built or designed EVERY SINGLE THING ON THIS TRUCK (except porting heads and the C&T on the TTB)

Peanut Gallery, I do have more pics but its not going to really show you anything. You cant really tell where the C&T is. I guess i should ask, do you guys know what a C&T is?

Thanks for the interest guys
