Tailgate Question

DH166
I need a tailgate for the 81 F100 project. I'd love to pick one up at the local pick n pull, but the number of 80-86's is so limited. Are there years outisde that range that fit?

Gary has set up an "Interchange" page. It provides information you are searching for. The following was copied from that page:

Tailgates: 1980 - '82 tailgates use straps while 1983 and later tailgates use cables.  Given that they do not directly interchange.  However, it is possible to put an '83 - '86 tailgate on an earlier bed fairly easily, as described on the Tailgates and then the Changing Tailgates tabs here.
