Does anybody here know the different sizes of trunions that were used for the tailgates? I am running a '75 tailgate on a shortbed that I am not certain of the year. The problem I have is that the tailgate seems very loose when pivoting open or close. I think the trunnions are probably not match up properly, but do not know which ones I need to find. Please advise if you can.

73-78 trunnions should work for you. They went to the smaller trunnions after that, I believe.
