The one in your pics is for an 80-86. I've had quite a few of that generation of F100-F250's.

Actually 80-82 have metal hinges and 83-86 use cables. I can't tell by the pics of exactly what year it's off of.

The following two tailgates interchange, all the mounting hardware is the same, but the 1967/72 tailgate looks slightly different.

C7TZ-9940700-A .. 1967/72 F100/350 Styleside Tailgate.

FORD letters surrounded by a raised ovate scallop line.
==================================
C4TZ-9940700-A .. 1964/66 F100/250 2WD, 1966 F100 4WD Styleside Tailgate.

Large FORD block letters.
Thanks for the part number. My 71 needs a replacement gate. Sometime in its life it looks like a trailer come unhitched..... the nice hole in the outer skin was poorly filled with bondo, and now the entire bottom end of the tailgate is rusting through.

Now my struggle will be finding one......
