Hi, I looking to put an 08 tailgate on, but I need a
left side hinge the part# is 4L3Z-83430B39-AA
but I don’t know the difference between a (pivot) or a (roller),
dose any body know? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
That is the right part number and its all you need, except for painting it the right color. Ford calls it a roller for some reason, I think the cup style is the one they call a pivot.

where did you score your 08 tailgate?
did you find exact color match?
very cool!
Agree with Justin, those look like F150 parts, the spring loaded tailgates didnt come in the SD's until 08. My 08 tailgate has the rectangle socket on the drivers side and what looks to me like same hinge as the old style on the passenger side. Cant help you with part numbers as I swapped the entire box. I sure like that tailgate!!
hey, does anybody know if the 2010-2011 tailgate fit the same as the 08?
Yes it will, all you need is the drivers side hinge. I called a local dealership, he asked $43 I told him I found it online for $33, he matched it and I picked it up next day. Got a handle that way too. Swapped the internals of the tailgate (latches and connecting rods) and was ready to go! You just have to do some adjusting to get it to line up right, but it worked great for me. I waited for a while on craigslist and found a color matched shell for $250, told him I want to be done with the deal for $250, needed $60 in parts so he sold me the shell for $190. Ive got some pictures through the link in my sig, pretty simple process.
If you need a handle, you'll have the option to get a locking or non-locking handle, or a camera handle or not. I went with no camera, locking handle and re-used my lock cyl....good luck!
