Question Tailgate for Super Crew

I've been searching for a replacement tailgate for a 2002 Super Crew. All the parts websites I look at don't specify whether it fits or doesn't fit a Super Crew. I purchased one from carparts.com and the one sent was too long. The OEM tailgate is 51-3/4 inch width and the one I received from carparts is 63-3/4 inch width. Does anyone know the part # or where I can get a tailgate that will fit? Thanks for your help.

Welcome.

Do you have step side bed? That 51" dimension you mention is barely wider than the width between the wheel wells for a 4x8 sheet of plywood to fit. Normally the tailgate is wider than the distance between the wheel wells. Anyway, I will look for a tailgate for you.

Here is some info regarding the tailgates.

It's a styleside bed. It is a narrow bed. Thanks for looking.

No, sir. You need a flareside bed tailgate.

The taillights are your hint.

SuperCrew or Flareside are the same tailgates. The Explorer Sport Trac tailgate and Blackwood also fits. It has a different plastic panel at the bottom but will bolt right into either the SCrew or FS beds.
