68 tailgate classification! How many are there
I bought this tailgate for my 68 f100 ranger longbed! The salvage yard said its a 68 I don't think is but when I look in the MAC's catalogue it is slightly different! What year is this one what do I need to look for to find one that fits the lines of my 68?

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.

^ UPPER: C4TZ-9940700-A = Large Ford Block letters: 1964/66 F100/250 2WD, 1966 F100 4WD // LOWER: C7TZ-9940700-A FORD letters surrounded by raised ovate scallop line: 1967/72 F100/350.
Tailgate pictured in post 3 isn't either of these, it's not 1973/79 either. Dunno what it is...for sure, but it resembles 1980/86.
1980/82 is retained by metal scissors that are made as part of the right/left latches, 1983/86 is retained by cables.

Most junkyards haven't a single clue what year the tailgates fit, especially for a 45+ year old truck.

As-is I'd say $25 to $40.
But make lemonade out of lemons.....it would be a good time to practice some body work -some hammer n dolly work, a skim coat of filler, block sanding, and shoot it with primer sealer and look to upwards of $100.
.. or make a bench out of it:

The one you bought looks the same as one I have, which a friend gave me saying it would fit my '68. It doesn't, but I didn't need one anyway. Did a little checking and I think it's for an '80s truck. So I have this nice, NOS never installed tailgate sitting here that fits nothing I own (and probably never will.) I like the bench idea...
