Re: tailgate interchange

The later bed I have had thick rubber blocks near the top of the bed sides. These got in the way of the earlier tailgate sides. I removed the rubber blocks, but then the tailgate stays hit the rubber blocks at the bottom and it still wouldn't close. I ended up buying a tailgate that matched the box that was in better shape than the old one I was trying to "save."
