Pablo - the tailgates lost the indent/recess (where the TOYOTA is stamped) that coincides with the early tail-lights ....after 77. Just compared a 71 and a 78 at my homestead and this appears to be the most significant difference structurally. If you dig up Buckethead's thread, the PO of his pig transplanted a 78 into a 71 with no dilemma - however, because there is no recessed upper section on the 78-80 tailgate, it will not line up with the depth of the early rear lights(cosmetic only) Long story short - from what I have gathered - all may be interchanged and functional - just differing visually. I may stand to be corrected

Thanks for the replies!

I know at one time someone posted pics of the different tailgates for me, but search turned up nothing. What up w/ that?

Did they stop stamping "TOYOTA" in the tailgates in '78?

you're welcome.........looks like they stopped stamping Toyota on the tailgates after 76, judging by a few examples.............

So the '77 tailgates would be an odd man out...

Well, my '77 tailgate does NOT have the 'Toyota' stamped in it. Kinda' bums me out , too.

The '70 does though.

Two cool!

If I had two Piggies that looked like that, I would not be bummed at all (esp if one of them had a license plate frame that said "Beaverton Toyota"!!!)

I really like that 'ol 'Beaverton Toyota' license plate frame also. Its original actually. I have the original manual along with the orig. saleman's business card, and some other stuff, too. This rig was sold in Oregon and has spent its entire life living in Oregon. I didn't need another pig but after I saw it I had to buy it.
