Thanks for the photos.Very nice.
Like you I have the two metal pieces, but not the cardboard. As "Ford Blue Blood" stated, I'll wind up making my own.
I do have the push in "buttons" that secure the cardboard and the long metal piece, and would post a photo if anyone would like to see what they look like.

Cold you please post them John.  I have nothing for below the "package tray".  Got both the little triangle shaped pieces but no clue on the rest.

 Bill,  ( Ford Blue Blood ) here are photos of these two Metal Strips and the Button used to retain them
The strips are 26"  X  2"
The Buttons are 1" Overall Length.  The Head is 1/2' in diameter.

Bill, I'm gifting you the pair in the photo, but I do not have any additional Buttons. Having been to your home, I have your address. I'll get them sent next week.

Holy Bat Man John,

That is so super!  Thanks much so much!

Sent you and email about so bad info I gave with respect to the tail gate assembly.  My bad all the way, hope it will be an easy fix for you.
