Tailgate woes

[badinfluence]

Over the holidays I inflicted the 1st damage to my truck by backing into my dozer drag I had propped up on a big rock, I put a big dent into my tailgate just off center to the passenger side.



So does anyone have a light almond pearl metalic tailgate they want to sell that would fit my 05. or does anyone have suggestion on a replacement. I looked at the places on e-bay and have looked at flow throughs but I do alot of work off my tailgate so dont think those are an option, I thought about building one out of 1/4 inch plate but dont think the flimsy bed would handle it.



Thanks in Advance

Body shop?? repair??

p-bar, I had already considered that, but was seeing if someone had any ideas other than that, I am going to pay for it out of pocket, and body shops, are wanting 800 to 1000.

Thanks for the input
