61-71 tailgate hinge

Post by exline »

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?

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