Four years ago a complete 3500 gate was going for around $900, unpainted.

John,

Sent you an e-mail. I have 2 gates depending on year.

You could go with an A. R. E. MX series Topper with a walk through door and eliminate the tailgate thing altogether! Just a thought.

tailgate

One just sold on ebay last week for $25. 00 or $50. 00. It had slight but repairable damage to it.

I know. . day late, dollar short.

I had to replace mine late last summer. Found a straight one off a 1 ton, but with no light bar (the plastic trim panel had the holes for it so I had to buy the light bar from the "stealer" to fill in the holes - of course ). With repainting to match, the whole thing came out to about $600 . The gate itself as I remeber was about $275. Then add the paint job, Line-X to match the bed, light bar, misc. hardware, etc. Every other option seemed to come out about the same or more.

I paid 350. 00 for one about 6 weeks ago. It had to be repainted to match my truck, was included in the 350. 00

If anyone is in Southern Calif. and looking for a tailgate, I have one. Never used it; replaced it with fifth-wheel tailgate. E-mail me for information.

i have a new tailgate with lights and all. It came off a Silver 2002, 3500. The dealer looked up the price and it came to $557.

It's available in the Long Beach, CA area for $475

Every farmer I know that pulls a gooseneck cattle trailer keeps an extra U-shaped tailgate out behind their barn. Most will sell it to you if you promise not to tell who you bought it from. Its only I matter of time before I have a costom U-shaped tailgate of my own.

I paid $250 or $350 for one for my '96 3500 a while back, after a friend who was having me tow his car on his trailer boo-booed and smashed it in. I was lucky and found one the right color (and came off a '99).



Got mine from the used Dodge parts dealer in Rancho Cordova, CA.
