Tailgate Swap

[Jhuss96]

Interested in doing a tailgate swap with a 17+ truck with the large RAM lettering on tailgate.

Kind of a long shot but if anyone is in the New England area & prefers the look of the ram head tailgate let me know.

You could just buy the ram letters instead of doing a swap. Probably less work on your end too

I have tossed around that idea, but the shape around the ram head is molded into the body of the tailgate. The RAM letters definitely wouldn't cover it up due to it's positioning and Im honestly not confident enough with my body filler skills to try to smooth the area out in line with the rest of the tailgate.

Oh interesting. I didn’t know it would be a factor. Good to know. Something I was planning to do at some point.

Yeah unfortunately it's a bit more involved than it seems. If I really feel the need to change up the tailgate someday I might go with this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-09-18...-Applique-Panel-Cover-CH06A17SB-/202739740654

Would give it a more modern look imo.

Have you seen the complete body kit air design makes for ram 1500?

While I think that looks kinda cool, it is the exact same shape the tailgate piece that Ford puts on the Platinum trim F150. I don't want my Ram to resemble a Furd.

I was trying to figure out where I saw that shape before. You hit the nail on the head.
