Tailgate

Hi, can you tell me if the star that is on the tailgate panel is glued or stuck on or screwed on? Thank you. Dan

The star has an adhesive backing on it. Should be able to remove without issue.

Help in removing the star...

Quite often, one can take an electric hair dryer or heat gun [be more careful due to potential extreme heat] and warm the item held on by use of an adhesive backing. The adhesive will soften and the item can be pulled off [use gloves].

Another way is to use fishing line and "saw" through the adhesive without harming the paint.

No such thing as a 1980/86 tailgate. It's either 1980/82 or 1983/86, neither interchanges with the other.

1980/82 tailgate is different than 1983/86, the way it mounts is also different. 1980/82 uses straps that are made as part of the right/left side latches.

1983/86 tailgate attaches with cables. The hinges and other related parts are also different.

If you sell this 1983/86 tailgate to someone with a 1980/82, be prepared to take it back, because it will not fit!
