It should but double check the location of the striker bolts before you commit to buying it. They moved at some point during the production run and I honestly can never remember exactly WHEN that was.

I wish in 78 they did the striker bolt with the torx head. One of my phillips head screws is stripped pretty good so i wasn't willing to tighten it cause i didn't want to risk having to drill it out

Even if it requires some modding, $100 is an OK price for the tailgate, I say get it.
