What Years Tailgates Will Fit My 1988 F250?

[rempfer]

I saw some existing threads on tailgates but couldn't quite determine which years tailgates would be a direct bolt-on for my 1988 F250 2Dr 7.3IDI 5 Speed Manual 4x4 XLT Lariat Edition.

I don't want to have to modify, just would like to know which years tailgates will bolt right up.

Thank you,

87-97 should drop right in, and match the body lines.

Correct me if I'm wrong, according to my wife is all the time, but aren't the pivot mounts a different size on the 92 and up?

I had a new gate for my 88 but the pivots were smaller in diameter than the 88, but now I don't remember what year the new gate was I want to say it was off a 93, but that was 15 years ago.... ( Yes I suffer from CRS...)
