Hey,I was wondering how long did dodge make this body style? The reason I am asking is bacause I need a new tailgate and was hoping to find a earlier one from a 1ton cause I wand the 1ton running lights.
Thanks

 

I think the cummins was from 87 to 93 body style differ alittle year to year as far as grills and such the doors, fenders, hoods and tail gates suould be the same as far as I know. Someone else will chime in with more spicifics on body parts.

I do beleve that the bodys were basicly the same form 73 to 93.
I now that bodys can be swoped frame to frame.........I thing that 2wheel and 4 wheel are diff but for a tail gate? pright much shore that all will fit!

 

Thanks for the quick replies guys

 

just a quick scan through the interweb show that the body style changed in '72, so 72-93 should work

 

81-93 if you want the correct body lines.

 

I'm running a 79 hood, with a custom stainless latch bar to work with the 81-93 latch.

 

Well now that I know what years I will be on the look out for a 1ton tail gate

 

You and the rest of the workd, I won one on ebay, and my money order didn't get there on time, so they relisted with buy it now, and sent me back a check

 

What year box do you have? The latch style changed around '88 - not interchangable. Other than the lights whats the diferance between a regular and 1 ton tail gate?

 

I don't think anything is different. I just like the lights

 

It's alot cheaper just to add the 5 lights and alot less work.

 

Thats what I was thinking

 

But is it hard to run wireing through the tail gate?

 

No. Pre-fabricate a harness and fish it through with a coat hanger
