Today on our 2006 Ford F150, well be test fitting the Stromberg Carlson 100 series fifth
wheel tailgate with open design, part number VG-04-100.Now to begin our test fit, we will
first start off by removing our manufacturers tailgate. Well open up the tailgate and lay
it down flat. Well then move to the support straps attached to the truck bed, lift up
the silver plate to allow us to bring the strap up off of the hook. We will then repeat
these steps for the other side. Note that you do need to keep a hold on the tailgate
as once both straps have been removed, the tailgate will not have any support.Well then
put the tailgate in a 45 degree angle and lift up on the passenger side of the tailgate.
Once the passenger side is free, we can then slide the tailgate to the right and allow
the drivers side of the tailgate to pop out.Now with the new hardware installed on the fifth
wheel tailgate, well start off by inserting the rubber bushing on the drivers side of
the truck bed.
