Attention: TDR Forum Junkies About six week ago I posted a request to find out what tailgates would fit my truck. Some a__ hole decided he liked mine more tha I did. Thinking I would find a used one and have it painted to match. Finding used ones to be around $250. 00 and upward and then needed to be painted, started to become expensive. I started searching on-line and found a Co. Pershing Auto Body parts at Pershing Auto Body Parts 
ainted to Match Parts Hood Fender Bumper Grille Headlight Tail Light Tailgate Raditor Support 1-866-807-0003 That sells tailgates and other body parts. They sell gates painted or primered. 
I purchased one painted to match my truck for $260. 00 delivered to Denver. It took about four weeks to receive. All I needed to do was remove all the hardware from an old trashed gate I found for zero dollars and install on the new gate. It was manufactured out of the USA and sent directly to me. Weight of gate and quality of material appears to be equal to the OEM. Paint is a perfect match. A body shop quoted me $1,500 to replace mine and a month to receive the parts. I am wondering if they were going to do the same as I did by ordering an import part.
