All. The chrome trim around some attaches to the body, not the lamp.

New lenses were really cheap from sources like JC Whitney, etc. Do you really need to get some from a junk yard? True, it's been a while since I bought some...

Thanks for the reply, but I am asking about TAILGATES not Taillights.

72-80 Dodge truck tail gates are pretty much all the same, Some trim is differnet, But they all interchange.

Also the tail gates from a 76-80 Ramcharger with the removable top is the same gate as a truck.

One from 1981 and up, thats when the body changed, they will fit the truck, but the latches are different. and won't close with out modification..

Ramchargers and Traildusters started in 74.
72/73 tailgates have the Dodge Stamped in them. Also the Military Trucks had the Stamped Dodge tailgates. But as stated 72-80 truck and 74-80 RC/TD And trim varies. But the RC/TD will have holes drilled for the latch for the lift gate. 81-93 can be made to fit but I don't recall what needs done.

Looking for a tailgate? I have a beautiful one in tan I'm selling because I found a stamped one correct for the 73 I just bought. (My 72 has a stamped one and boy are they hard to find!)

Seeing as how there is no wrench turning needed to get that tailgate off, he may just grab it when he needs that drill next....Gotta go up there for a reason ya know....

I sent you a Private Message. If the price is reasonable, I am interested in your Tan Tailgate.
