does any body know what year range tailgates will fit on my truck. its a 65-66 flareside on a 63. i figure that because the center cross braces dont line up worth a hoot

Pretty sure its the same tailgate '53-79 on a flareside. Pretty big range of years there to go looking for, got to be one of the more common Ford tailgates I would think.

Steps and all box parts are common as houseflies in repro houses for Fat fender trucks.

53-72 stepsides are the same. Bed got wider in 1973. Hint, the 53-72 3/4 ton beds were taller and wider and ironically is the same as the 73-79 f100/F150's.
