Two Tone paint scheme for tailgate
My '69 F250 is a two tone with green upper and white lower. It didn't come with a tailgate however and I have finally picked one up but it is red and so I'll need to paint it. Anyone have pictures of a tailgate from a two tone truck? Is the tailgate two tone as well or is it solid color?

heres the tailgate from my almost a parts truck
seeing how there were several ways Ford did two tones, there may be more than one way the tailgates were done too, I haven't looked into it

re: Two Tone paint scheme for tailgate
I just looked through my fairly extensive collection of '67-'72 truck pics, and all the two-tone trucks I've got were identical to OldBlue67's pic above. Even if the truck had no other stainless trim on the tailgate, the tailgate on two-tone trucks would have a lower trim piece to separate the upper color from the lower.
Here's another example:
