Styleside Tailgates
1967/72 F100/350 will fit 1964/66 F100/250 2WD & 1966 F100 4WD and vice versa, as all the mounting hardware is the same.
The only mounting hardware from the above tailgates that's the same as 1973/79 are the R/L supports aka "scissors."
1980/82 tailgates are 1980/82 only. The scissors are made as part of the R/L latches / 1983/86 tailgates are 1983/86 only, 'gate retained by cables. 1987/91 is different again.
Left (upper): 1973/79 / Right (upper): 1980/82 (concentrate on the hardware, not what the 'gate looks like) / Left (lower): 1983/86 / Right (lower): 1987/89 same as 1990/91.
