almost all of the cj5`s had no tailgates and had permanant spare tire mounts. if you do have one either it was special ordered or someone did it later. that`s the difference with the 5 &7.the 7 was a little longer and had the tailgate with the swingaway spare tire mount. Actually the "FIXED BACK PANEL/RR SP WHL MOUNT" was a $12 option in 1978. I have the factory window sticker for a 1978 CJ-5 listing it. The 1978 Jeep sales brochure lists it under "Options and Accessories" as "fixed back panel and spare mount (CJ-5)".

All 1978 Jeep CJ5 models were equipped with a tailgate. The CJ5 had a two-piece tailgate design, with a fold-down section and a swing-out section. There were no solid tailgate options available for the 1978 CJ5 model.

How do you get the Ford Explorer Sport Trac Tailgate unstuck?

If the tailgate is dropped hard it can toggle the locking mechanism. If you don't have a key to unlock the tailgate, you'll have to remove the plastic side of the tailgate (the inside) and flip the locking lever back to the unlocked position. While you have the cover off you might as well put some drops of oil on all of the metal moving parts inside the tailgate.
