As you would know they're few and far between these days, especially in good nick!... I'm surprised someone hasn't reproduce them, given the range of models they fit.
Anyway this may be a long shot, but the only fb/ek ute I know of down your way is just out of Stratford on Bengworden road, its been sitting in the paddock for many a year!....Cant say with any certainty if its still got its tailgate or not.

Well there you go, I didn't know the fe/fc ute tailgates were different!....Are they difference enough that the gates won't inter change between models?
Be interesting to see some comparison pics.

I'll pull two out and show the difference if I remember tomorrow. They still go on. I'm not sure if you need a different striker plate on the body.
