1976 F250 Highboy Tailgate

I need to find a new tailgate for my 76 Highboy and I'd just like to know what year tailgates will fit. I'm assuming 73-79 will work but what other years will be a direct drop in, and it will fit?

I believe they are all basically the same from 65 through 79, minor differences in hardware and appearance, but the upper body lines all match IIRC

D7TZ-9940700-A (replaced D3TZ-9940700-A) .. Styleside Tailgate: 1973/79 F100/350.

1964/66 F100/250 2WD; 1966 F100 4WD; 1967/72 F100/350: The only parts that are the same as the 1973/79 tailgate are the metal tailgate supports (aka scissors).

ALL the other parts are different!

The 1964/66 tailgate (C4TZ-9940700-A) looks slightly different than the 1967/72 tailgate (C7TZ-9940700-A), but the 1973/79 tailgate looks completely different.
