Default Tailgates Interchangeable?

Guys which generation tail gate has FORD centered in big letters?

Is it interchangeable and would fit on my 1995?

87-92 had the stamped letters in the center and I'm pretty sure they are interchangeable.

Can anyone verify that the tail gates are interchangeable? I'd love to buy one of the older styles

Would a topper also be interchangeable from a 95 all the way back to 87?

Woops, 87-91, then the change in 92-96. The chrome toppers? Like this one?:

I think you would have to make some clips to secure it.

Yep. I like the ones with ford stamped across it better. I was going to take that piece off once but it would have left huge gaping holes where the screws secured it.

Yes dude, '87-'96. Topper will include those years, earlier and other makes of similar age.

Sean speaks the truth.
I have one from an 88 or 89, (from the junkyard) on my 93.
It fits just fine.
