I need to replace my rusting lower tailgate that features the old-style
exterior lever. Is it possible to do a straight swap with a later model
without lever? I've heard you have to change the catches on the body frame.
Any advice much appreciated.

I don't know the answer to your question. However, I suspect that someone 
over on alt.fan.landrover might.

HTH,
