they should both be able to fit no problem. I hear midnight auto has a couple up for grabs!

The tailgate with ford stamped across the middle of it is not 87-91.... It is the 1980-86 models... 1987-96 tailgates are all the same but with different trim panels that go on them...
**edit**
whoops. Sorry I was wrong. I am thinking of a different ford stamped tailgate. those ones did go from 87-91 sorry bout that yall!

The hinges and latckes are different on the 1980 to 1986 trucks , but they bolt on the same holes.
So it would be possible to use the early tailgate on an 87 to 96 truck, if you chage the mounting parts.
