87 tailgate onto 75 bed?

Hi All,

I have a factory dentside 1975 RHD F350 down here in Australia.
It has a large flatbed.

I have been offered a 75 LWB bed for a reasonable deal, but it has no tailgate.
I can get a very cheap repo 87plus tailgate.

Will it fit?

Fit yes is should, but I would look at the TG latches on the 87 tailgate. Are they set up like the old style latch (in diagram and 1st couple of pics or for pins like a door striker? I think an 87 TG is a pin latch system. Also the body lines will not like up at all.



87-96 tailgate striker....mounted in the bed side.
