That is a great idea. I would have never thought of this, but sure this fall when I am out hunting, I will use it....

Tail gate with built in step to a tail gate w/o a step

Has any one tried to switch the step from a rusty original tail gate to a new/ used non step tail gate?

I doubt the non-step tailgate has the internals to do a simple swap. The top the tailgates might be different also.

Have not seen anyone attempting this conversion.

I removed the stripper pole on my 2011 and 2015 trucks. Hated the hump in the tailgate when I was trying to slide table saws and other equipment into the bed.
Stripper pole unbolted and I threw away the plastic tail gate cover and bought a flat panel from a NON-Step tailgate and bolted it in place over the hole. Had the local Rhino line dealer spray it and I was good to go. So the parts from a Non step tailgate transfer over with no drill or tapping for new screws.

Now that all changed with the 2017 models. But I think most of the parts interchange on the older tailgates.

Nope...different part numbers...basic tailgate is different between step and non-step models. Latch, rods, handle, etc might interchange with no problems.

Tailgate without Flex Step - DC3Z-9940700-A

Tailgate with Flex Step - DC3Z-9940700-B

Platinum with Flex step - DC3Z-9940700-C

Thanks for that info I would like to do the same thing. I use the step but the pole causes more issues than it solves. Any ideas what the part number is for the 11-16 plate that covers the inside of the tailgate after the pole is removed?
