Tailgate Question

I am no tailgate expert. They all look the same to me. Came across this one on Facebook Marketplace. Anyone know the year and if it will fit my ‘66 F250? I know it’s not correct but it would be way better than the rusted through one I have now.

How much are they asking for it? Looks to be a post-'72 tailgate but I could be wrong. I believe it'll fit. There was another post not long ago asking about tailgates. Run a search for it.

He's asking $150. I assumed it was from a later 70's truck. Wasn't sure if those mounted the same. I'll try searching later.

Looks to be 70, 71 I know this because my father had a 71 and it looked like this one I'm sure 72 also.

The huge indentation where the latch is means it is 73-79 Dentside era

How to tell what year a tailgate is

Kingcw1966: Sorry, but the tailgate pictured by burban77 is 1973-1979 (Dentside)

For comparison, here are all three series.......

1964-1966 Slick
