I have been given a 54-87 tailgate in pretty good shape and was wondering if anyone thought that I would be able to modify it to fit my 53? It looks as if I will be able to if it isnt too wide or too narrow.

It won't work, it also hinges different. I believe both height and width is different. I bet you could trade with someone or just sell and buy the right one.

Thanks,

Both right. 1st it is too tall and second I would have to cut the holes out where the hinges are. I appreciate the answers.
