Not a direct fit.  The mounts and latches are different if I remember right.

TacoRunner - What width of plate did you use (post #10 in this thread).  Looks to be 5" wide, 1/8" thick.  Any other tips or tricks to making the truck tailgate fit?  Did the hinges just bolt onto the bottom of that plate?  Thanks!
