tailgate

My '93s tailgate is pretty much rusted out thank God the window motor is still working(knock on wood) I found one for a 1970's model I don't think it will fit but thought I'd ask first. Thanks.

they changed the "style" of them a bit but i think anything from 80-96 will technically fit. dont know about the 78-79 FSB. You can buy a new skin for yours or patch panel for the bottom and weld it on.

Some info for the record; Swapping (t'gate differences between the years)

Source: by Mike M (MRM) at medicine.wisc.edu

"...Amazingly throughout the number of body style changes from '78 through '96, the tailgate remained nearly the same. You can swap tailgates between all of these years taking note of the following:

I've broken down the 3 major changes into their respective years.

78 - 79 Type A

80 - 82 Type B

83 - 96 Type C

If your swapping within the same "type" it's just a direct swap.

If swapping A & B you have to switch the glass and glass support brackets

If swapping B & C you have to switch latches and striker plates

If swapping A & C you have to switch the glass, glass support brackets, latches & striker plates..."
