I recently purchased a tailgate for a 78-79 bronco and noticed that the latch openings are different. The tailgate on my bronco currently, the openings are larger then the one I just purchased. I'm being told by Jeff's Bronco graveyard and Dennis Carpenter that the latch openings will need to be modified. Has anyone delt with this and is there an easy way to modify them ? Or will the newer smaller latches work with the bolt that the latches connect to. I don't want to modify it if I don't have to so any insight on this would be appreciated.
