Hey Jeff,
There's only one option, the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series # VG-97-4000, compatible with your 2004 Ford F-250 and luckily it is the better choice out of the 5th wheel tailgates that we offer. This tailgate has larger louvers for a more modern look and there's an optional center plate # VI-4000 to close off the tailgate when you aren't towing. If you have a tonneau cover this would allow you to lock up and protect any items in your bed. Other options have large cutouts so anything in the bed would be easy to get to.
If you need any else for your F-250 Just let me know and I'd be happy to help.
