Lift off tailgate mod

[skorpioskorpio]

Although it's been mentioned in a couple threads before, there isn't a good thread on the specifics of this. My understanding is that you can replace the trunnions in the '67-72s with trunnions from some later model in the '73-87 series, which specific years, I don't know, and then notch the hinge cup in the tailgate. One thread says the fit is a little sloppy, another says it works perfect, I'd like to know what the real deal is, and pictures if anyone has some. The only thread with pics, they're all dead.
