Blazer tailgate torsion rod question

I am trying to figure out if the the torsion rods are the same from early to late tailgates. I know the later ones only have one as opposed to 2 on the earlier ones but is the right side the same from year to year? I have a customer looking for one as his late model one is broken and he doesn't have both pieces to compare to my earlier one. I appreciate any input. I don't do a lot on Blazers compared to my time on trucks

Hmm...73-91 Blazer/Jimmy all have a pair of torque rods and they are LH&RH.
You might be thinking of Sub. They have a single rod

Are the rods the same for all of the years?
