1997 7.3 Tailgate Swap??

Id like to do a swap on my truck. What years of tailgate will fit? I'm mostly interested in the Super Duty gates. I'm not interested in any F150 gates.

Welcome to FTE.

Your profile says F350, and that you live in British Columbia Canada.

I have changed your post to a forum that deals with your year and model truck.

Good luck with your search.

87 threw 96 F150 tail gates is a direct drop in fit. 87 threw 97 F250 HD and f350 is also a direct drop in. Depending on trim level of the donor will be the factor in appearance.

no. 99 and newer superduty tailgates and the 97 F250 LD gate will not fit, they are different size.
as said, 87 to 96 F-150 and 87 to 97 F250 HD and F350 gates are all the same thing
