Getting the Wheeling Fever
Looking for a definitive answer. I have an 84' 2wd longbed. Tailgate has the 2 latches and hooks. I need to replace it. Will a pre -84 tailgate work?

Yes, if the double latch bed on your '84 is from an '79-83 truck, if it could be an older bed, you might want to take some measurements.

The '83 model was the last year to use that latch style, the '84 model year and forward all had the single center latch. The '84-88 models could come with the "import bed" but while it was similar in looks to the double latch bed, it came with the single tailgate latch.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
