1973/79 F100/350 Styleside tailgate will fit 1967/72's, but the hinges are different as is the style, so it won't match the body lines.
C7TZ-9940700-A = 1967/72 F100/350 Styleside Tailgate-has a raised ovate scallop line that surrounds the FORD letters.
9/1966: Ford replaced the tailgate used on 1964/66 F100/250 2WD Stylesides and 1966 F100 4WD Stylesides (C4TZ-9940700-A) with the C7TZ tailgate.
All the mounting parts are the same. This tailgate (which is hard to find) has larger FORD block letters, does not have the raised ovate scallop line surrounding them.
Ach du lieber! No tailgate from a 1961/63 anything will fit-totally different beds! No 1961/63 Uni tailgate will fit.
And: 1961/65 F100/250 4WD's, 1963 F100/250 non Uni 2WD's, 1966 F250 4WD's and 1961/66 F350's used the 1957/60 Styleside bed. Called the "wrong bed" by enthusiasts of 1961/66's
No "wrong bed" Styleside tailgate will fit anything else.
