B210 van and B210 coupe both used a tailgate. The Coupe tail gate is more commonly called the hatch or liftgate. Gas struts keep the boot (tailgate) open once it is lifted to the up position.

Coupe Tail Gate

DX came with hatch struts, to keep the hatch open when lifted. GL & GX hatch struts came with switches to turn the light on. When new, the struts will support the weight of the hatchback. As they age, at some point they will no longer keep the hatch up.

Some Australian-sold coupes came with a metal stay for the left hand side, a bar that holds the hatch in the upright position. The struts are more to assist in lifting it. Reportedly that's how they were sold by the dealer.

Swaps can also be done for example Falcon XD front bonnet struts. Because the upper tailgate is light, the trick to finding the right 'weight' at the wreckers - find a bonnet that just worked its way down slowly under its own weight. Sometimes only one side is needed if the alternative strut is too powerful. At the wreckers there are lots of cars, lots of bonnets. Just measure up the open and closed lengths and go a'lookin.
