'66 Tailgate on '69?

Hey... I may have stumbled onto a good deal on a '66 fleetside tailgate. Would that bolt up and function on a '67-72? Even if it didn't work, I could think of several uses for it. Hmmm...

This guy swears his tailgate is for a 67-72 truck.

Re: '66 Tailgate on '69?

Not meaning to disagree with everyone here, but, I purchased a 72 that had a 60-66 style tailgate on it...looked a bit odd. It did fit, open, and closed..but body lines do not match at all...

Thanks! This is the info I was looking for. IF I get it, then it will probably be turned into some kind of furniture or something. I dunno.

Re: '66 Tailgate on '69?

'67 was the first year for the handle/linkage/latch like a door. That gate used chain,so you'd have to do latches inside the bed. Obviously,the body design was different.
But,I see you want to do garage art. Here's a nice example:
