Our old tailgates don't come off as easy as the new ones. You may be able to get it on the 67-72 but it wouldn't do anything since ours don't lift off.

Re: Does anyone know if these work on our tailgates?
They don't, Jason? My wife keeps telling me my memory sucks, she must be right.
I haven't owned a 67-72 since the 90's, (about to change that), but I would have sworn fleetside tailgates came off by opening them to a 45 degree angle, then pulling up and out. Do 67-72's have to be unbolted or something? Here's how the lock works on newer trucks. Last edited by fartblossom; 06-28-2015 at 05:00 PM. |

To get the hinges off you have to put them on a 45* angle but you cant just walk off with it like on the newer models.
Read this link. God I hate it when my wife is right and about my truck to! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=481758

Re: Does anyone know if these work on our tailgates?
you can take a die grinder with a cut off wheel and cut a slot at the 45degree angle so you can easily remove your tail gate without unbolting anything and you only have to cut one side usually done on the right side and change the bed side trunion to one like this
