Doesn't look right to me the mount on the bed should be round.

Re: tailgate binding.. hinge pics

There are 2 different hinge configurations that i know of, and the brackets are slightly different sizes.

I am running a 70s tailgate on an 80s box and it took some shoving to get it to seat properly the first few times.
