tailgate applications

Post by BlueOvalDave »

after much searching I have finally found a tailgate for my daughters 67.

Is a 70 gate the same as a 67? I hope so.

That would be close enough for me! I believe any tailgate 65-72 will work on a bumpside. The 65-66 tailgates might look a little odd, but I like it that way.

64 to 66 are direct fits but the letter font is different.
