Tailgate hinges

Post by Stealth69 »

My 69 did not have a tailgate and I just bought a straight rust free gate (In Nevada :lol: ) and I was wondering what years I could get hinges and supports off of.

Cargo Box, Styleside - Styleside boxes were available in 6-foot and 8-foot lengths. The rear side extensions on the '70-'72 boxes were modified to incorporate running lights which the '67-'69 boxes don't have. All boxes were available with a tool stowage compartment with hinged door in front of the right-rear wheelwell. '67-'69 trucks equipped with the 25-gallon auxiliary fuel tank had a filler tube hole above the beltline, whereas similarly-equipped '70-'72 trucks had the filler tube hole below the beltline. All styleside tailgates are identical and will interchange. '73-'79 tailgates will physically bolt on and be functional, but the body lines do not match up and it just looks odd.

That being said....I'd say you can use a set off any....I would stick between 67-72 and you should be able to post in the "wanted" section or check with the normal vendors :thup:

The hinges and supports will interchange from 64 to 79. The lines on the tailgates are not the same but the hardware is. I'm using a set off a 78 on mine.
