Stromberg Carlson Tailgate Installation - 2006 Ford F-250 VG-97-100

Today, on our 2006 Ford F-250, we are going to be test fitting the Stromberg-Carlson open fifth wheel tailgate, part number VG-97-100.All right, we have already got our tailgate assembled so now we are ready to mount it up on our truck. First we need to remove the factory tailgate. We will lower the tailgate and we will undo the support cables on either side of the tailgate. We will turn the tailgate to about a 45 degree angle so that we can slide the hinge on the passenger side off. To fit up our Stromberg tailgate, again we will hold it at about a 45 degree angle and we will slip the driver side over the hinge post first. As we close the tailgate, we want to pull open the latches, push the tailgate into position and release the latches so they will hold the tailgate in place. more
