Yes, 1980-1982 due to the metal supports.

I found 2 tailgates locally that are much cheaper, however they are cabled and must be for 1983-1986 and beyond. Can the stuff on the sides be changed to work on an 1981?

Yes, it can be done.  I've done it.  See the page at Documentation/Exterior/BEDS, TAILGATES, & COMPONENTS and then the Tailgates & then Changing Tailgates tabs.
