I believe by the 1973-79 time frame, they were the same. The older ones such as 1953-60 were indeed different, although I do know a few 1953-56 F250 owners in the past (me included) who bought F100 tailgates for their F250s. They fit, but aren't quite as wide. wasn't building a show truck so a little incorrectness didn't both me any.

BAAD-8340700-A was the original 8' & 9' bed 1953/56 part number. It was replaced by B7D-8340700-A in 1957, replaced by D8TZ-8340700-A in 1978.
