Tailgate Seal HELP???

HELP
I just installed a nice Jeraco fiberglass cap and have ordered a bed rug for my 2001 but noticed alot of space between the taigate and truck and was wondering where can i pick up a tailgate seal or gasket kit. Im driving from CT to FL in 3 weeks so i wouldlike it before then. Any help would be appreciated

Just saw one today in a new J C Whitney (for Dodge Truck) catalog. They call it a 'tailgate gap cover'. Stock # 07VK6162N. $40. Wish I had one last year when I was hauling gravel!

I have a Bedrug too, and I like it a lot. It's especially nice when crawling around in the bed - easy on the knees. #ad
I got mine from California Concepts - the best price I could find. I installed it myself - piece a cake. I have a fiberglass tonneau cover, so I'm not sure which gap you're talking about, but I have no leaks at all.

Thx for the responses. I actually found one from the company i bought my cap from. It cost around 30. 00 and it does a wonderful job. It fills the GAP between the tailgate (when closed) and the Truck bed itself , keeps the wter, dirt, grime even exhaust. Easy to install. As far as the bed rug yes i ordered mine through Califonia concepts to saved approx 50. 00 however the shipping was alot, but it is a heavy and bulky item. Thx again

The seals that are used on overhead garage doors also work well,I last paid $. 20/ft from a local door company. Seal great,very durable,$2 to do entire tailgate,give it Mopar part number and sell it for $40!
