I just got my truck painted, finally after buying the new full fiberglass bed and now my damn tail gate is starting to rust by the hinges. I found basically a like new tail gate off of a 1990 but Im not sure if it will mount up the same way as the stock 88 does! If any one knows can you let me know? I need to get some pics of my 88 up! people think its new!

 

i don't think so, it's diffrent body style

 

it's hard to say. as DudeBud said, it's a different body style. Dut then again, that's a part that is likely that Toyota didn't want to retool for. If you can pick one up real cheap it may be worth a try. And post the results so that others know in the future.

 

NO ... not a chance ..

hinges mount totally differant .

 

I saw a first gen truck with a mazda tailgate on it the other day. It fit perfect.
