Help identifying a tailgate

Hello all,

I am looking to replace the tailgate on my 91, as it is throughly trashed. I really like the style of this one here, but I have no idea what year it comes off of.

Anyone recognize what year it comes from + knows offhand if it would fit my 91 ?

Unfortunalty, the shipping cost on this one kills it for me, but I may try to find one locally.

TYIA,

YA... That one will fit... You just have to be careful of the powerwagon tailgates, pre 78.. They have a different locking mechanism.. I just found out the hard way.. I also really like that style you are looking at... That is the same one I am gonna go with

That looks like the one that's on my '93 D250 gasser. There are vinyl letter kits that go one the raised letters. Check with the dealer or a body shop supply store for them. Mine is white with red letters.

Thanks for the help,

Yreka,
That is the same exact tailgate I am looking for! It seems 1st gen tailgates are hard to come by in good condition.
