I have two tailgates, one bought used and one that came with the bugeye. Both original tailgates I believe? Limestone one is the used one which is mostly aluminum with galv top piece and rub strips. One on Bugeye gate which was told by PO I quote "genuine gate" made it a point to tell me that. This gate has a steel interior which rolls over as top piece. Much heavier gate. Did Land Rover change the gate style at some time / model year. Curiosity mostly.

The one with the rub strips is an earlier part. The one with the solid inner and top is a later style part.Jason

There is also a model that has the galvy trim cap that wraps around the top edge and completely overs the interior surface. I think Ike / Pangolin had one like that.Firemanshort

I have one of each too, as said the older has the galvy bits on the interior (mine looks like the original poster's). I think the inner galvy rails is a nicer way of protecting things than the stamped on the newer, though is a bit of a snag issue. Currently the new one is on my truck, not sure why._________________________________________

Thanks for responding. I just checked our host's website for used tailgates and didn't find any. Also, when I called them previously, the new (Proline) ones were on backorder.
Just thought I'd inquire in this tailgate thread...1973 Series III 88"

I would trade my newer one for a good back door. Its in great shape so the back door would need to be very good alsoTHING 1 - 1973 88 SIII - SOLD

tailgate
It is my understanding that the heavier duty tailgate is the military version.

Glavy tailgate
This is the full treatment tailgate I was speaking of earlier.
The galvy cap covers the while tailgate.
