tailgate ?
Hello, is there any other year tailgate that will work with a 93. I hate the looks of the factory one. Thanks in advance

No.

Unless you get a 5th wheel tailgate or a net.

What don't you like about it? the trim panel? its just the body line of the truck. lol

Any tailgate from 1981 to 1993 will work.

What is different about the 1970?-1980 tailgate. I always thought they looked cool, and I have a friend with one for sale. could it be fitted?

You would need to pull the latch pins out of the bed sides and weld some tabs in a slightly different location. I did the reverse when I cut the tabs and installed pins to put the 89 tailgate on my 77.
