Question Tailgate

My 78 Bronco is in need of a tailgate. What years fit? I have been told that 78-96 will interchange with some minor parts swapping (latch assy.)?? Is this true?
Thanks

Yes its true. If you get a later model gate then you will have to swap the hinges and window to fit your '78. My '79 has a '96 gate on it.
Also you can get aftermarket fiberglass gate that costs about the same as a good used gate from a junkyard. They are expensive.
