Fifth Wheel Tailgate for a 1996 Ford Pickup

Question:

Does this model come with straps/hinges that allow you to lower the gate flat even with the bed floor? Or, when lowered does it come to rest against the bumper?

This product, item number VG-100, will fit your 1996 Ford F-250 and F-350. It does not have straps, but does have latches which are injection molded with stainless steel springs and pins. You can remove the tailgate from the vehicle one hand, and it does lay flat just like the OEM tailgate; however, this tailgate is not constructed like an OEM tailgate and has weight restrictions. This tailgate is not meant to be stood on.
