bed swap and tailgate?
hey guys new here but have owned a few ford trucks over the years. anyway i picked up a y2k 250sd for farm duties the bed was shot and i found a new style bed for a good deal but its missing the tailgate. the tailgate that was on the old style bed is still in good shape. i was wondering if the old gate is interchangeable to the new bed? i know the new gates fit the old beds with some hardware changes and i was assuming the same would apply new style bed with old style hardware and my old gate would work. i guess i could always try it i think the hardware i need to change is around $10-$20. thanks for any info

The only hardware differences are the left side hinge. If you use a propane torch and heat the torks bolts up they will come right out. I say heat because they are loctited. Basically two bolts and the hinge is all thats needed.
