i went to a junk yard and found two 86 model tailgates one in mint condition and the other is in good shape with a few dents and a few little spots of surface rust any way will the 86 model tailgate bolt up directly to my 80 model pickup ? i need help in the next 8 hours i have to pick it up first thing in the morning on my way out of town.
