From these pics, can you tell me the tailgate year ?
I know they are not great, but I want to know if it is worth my ride.
Thanks

Hard to tell. It is either 73-76 or 77-80. WES

This one definitely is not a 67-72.

Re. Will square body fit? An old neighbor who was a mechanic once told me they would interchange but I never tried one to find out.

Re: From these pics, can you tell me the tailgate year ?

i've seen a square body gate on a 69/70 truck. I don't know if he had to do any mods, but it looked like poop. We aren't talking mild differences here, we are talking it looks as out of place as a Ford Ranger Splash grill on a Bently. No lines matched up at all. It almost looked like it was forced in with a sledge hammer.
