A 2001 Chevy 1500 tailgate will not fit a 2007 Chevy 1500 truck due to changes in design and dimensions between those model years. The tailgate latching mechanisms and mounting points were updated in the later models, making them incompatible. It's best to use a tailgate specifically designed for the 2007 model for proper fit and function.
