Been wanting to do a newer tailgate swap on the truck for a while, finally found one for a good price and i was able to sell mine, planets aligned and i was able to make it happen!! Now i was a bit disappointed expecting the tailgate hinge to have some soft drop help, but there is like zero resistance, you guys have have a new tailgate? you have some resistance? let me know.
Ford Genuine Tail Gate hinge $14 - amzn.to/3wWas00

That new tailgate looks clean! That's the way to get a newer truck, just add it on one piece at a time. The project really is looking great.

For your hose clamps you should round off the outside and strip the inside so nobody can take it off quickly even with the correct tools

I’m gonna swap tailgates now that I’ve seen this, It looks like it came Factory and gives it a nice updated look. Definitely cool that the lines match the height of the brake light lenses. Keep Rockin Nick, I dig your videos!

Thanks for the great video. A little tip. Pop the tail light out and you can easily spray the back sides of those bracket bolts with penetrating oil.

That "soft opening tailgate" is for when you open it the tailgate isn't as heavy as the one with no soft opening system it ain't actually a soft opening system , that's like a torsion bar

The new tailgate looks really nice. I like it better, without that Prius sticker too. Super Duty F-350’s are big, tough, masculine type trucks. A Prius should not be even remotely associated with this truck in any way!🙂👍🏻

That's just a torsion bar inside to make it easier to lift, not soft drop/open as you found out. You can also swap your key cylinder to the new one (if you still have access to it) or I have the internals to rekey it. Mines quite a bit heavier than my 05 gate was, I have a 15 gate with step and I put a 10-ish handle on it for the camera in the handle. In the newer gates they moved the camera to the gaudy emblem. On mine that torsion bar doesnt seem to really do anything, I've yet to see about messing with it, much more important things to do in daily life than mess with the tailgate spring, at least at this point and time. If/when I see a facebook post on this I'll try and put my tailgate up.
