Never tried it. It wont look right IMO. Your truck is too cool why not find a correct one?

Re: what years tailgate will work

I swear I've seen post-72 tailgates on the 67-72 trucks. Different for sure and not sure if it just bolted on or what it would take.

Im not 100% sure, but I dont think so. Even if it did, the lines are completely different and wont look good at all. Even a repop gate is only $200 bucks.
