Help Please: Tailgate Questions

My lady accidentally backed up into my '68 A100 when the tailgate was down(had a motorcycle in the back and didnt want it to be accesible to potential theives). It barely tapped the door hinge from the A100, but it was enought to crunch the tailgate.

I've been on the hunt for a F150 tailgate the past few days but I have a few questions. Some of them a bit dumb, but I want to be 100% sure I get exactly what I need since I will more than likely need it to be shipped.

I have a '10 Scab in oxford white with a backup camera. Can I get any oxford white tailgate from an '09-'14 F150 and swap my camera in there? I know there are two Oxford White paint codes, is it safe to assume that most of this generation F Series used YZ? Im hoping the answer to this question is yes and I can swap my emblem(with camera) in and also the handle with my key cylinder.....pop on an OEM Raptor emblem and call it a day. Am I accurate here, or missing something?

The silver lining is that since most of the work truck trim F150's were this color there are more of them out there, and for cheaper, than the other colors.

Please chime in if you have any experience in this department. Thanks guys.

Looking at Tasca it appears the part numbers for the tailgate without a step are the same. I don't know about the paint code

All of your assumptions are correct. As long as the paint matches, swap the camera, handle, and raptor logo and you should be golden.

I think Ford had paint problems due to a tsunami in the middle of 2011. For the remainder of that year the paint colors/codes changed. Tuxedo black was the only color they couldn't reproduce exactly, here in the states. I doubt you'll have a problem with Oxford white.

Do an eBay search, folks sell stolen Raptor tailgates on there and Craigslist all the time.
