55 TAILGATE
Are there also tailgates similar in design but with different measurements? Becuase I pulled one off a bed in a junkyard and it was about 4 inches too wide on each side to fit my 56. I've already cut it to fit for lack of finding another one, but I'm just curious. Thanks

55 TAILGATE
I bought a new 52 tailgate for my 54 because I like the looks of the script better. The vender didn't tell me, but I learned later that the 50 tailgate has the chain ears in the same place as the 54, whereas the 52 has them lower.
I wasn't planning on using the chain ears, intending instead to use cables, but so far haven't found any that work well.
The 52 gate fits exactly on the 54 bed with no problem.
I had already spoiled the original look by installing a 53 grill.
