On the back side of the tailgate should be 4-5 screws. As long as both gates are 80 an down years it will work. The recess is a little different on 81+ gates so the trim piece is different too. To fit it to the gate on your truck you just have to drill the holes...

Don't drill! Why put that on. I hate mine and would take it off but they didn't when they redid the paint.

Well I like the look of them but for ten bucks I'm going to see how it looks like, and won't put it on until I paint my truck in 2 months. Seen them on LMC truck and these are expensive
