Is it possible to fit a 99 tailgate on an 08?

 

No, totally different sizes.

 

Thank you! My husband's tailgate was stolen and I'm trying to find one for him without spending a ton of money. What about an 04 Heritage series?

 

Nope. 04 heritage is the same as the 99. You need to look for 04 (non heritage)-08 only.

 

Ok, thank you for the info!!

 

Yeah 97-03 and the 04 heritage are all the same style and will not fit. In 04 Ford made the new body style and the heritage at the same time. You need the 04 new body style, and then 05 to 08 were the same as the 04 new style. Sorry if that confuses you...

 

Also to prevent being stolen again....make sure to get a locking tailgate. Mine locks and I keep it locked unless I am using my bed. My girlfriend gets mad at me because its always locked when she wants to open it to let her dogs in but I'd rather still have my tailgate and have to unlock it for use.
