Are the early style tailgate hinges the same as the later style? I know the pocket in the tailgate is the same size but i am not sure if the bracket that bolts to the bed may be different?

61 to early 65 have the 2 mounting holes to lower side (possibly above)if memory serves me right and late 65 to 71 have 1 above and 1 below.

Does anyone have a picture of an early style hinge and possibly a measurement to locate the bolt holes?
