bronco and f series tailgates question

[mikeiam82]

Hey guys, my question is are the 66-77 bronco tailgates virtually the same as the 60's-72 f series tailgates? my bronco tailgate is pretty rusted and there are a few f series tailgates for sale near me. Im pretty sure the f series are longer but the rest looks pretty much exact to me. i know the trucks have ford all across the back and broncos have the ford close together on the passenger side and the license plate mounting is different. im looking for the ends and bottom for rust repair. anyone happen to know if other than being different lengths are they virtually the same?

Have you tried measuring it? Because your right that they look the same but I just don't think they are. But measuring would prove me rite or wrong.

Ya thats the obvious answer but the tailgate is a 2 hour drive away. Thought someone may know but i guess ill have to get the guy to go measure it for me. Thanks
