If anybody within a reasonable distance @Missouri has a tailgate in good shape for an 2005 or knows the best places to look for one let me know. Did a dumb thing Friday at work..hauling trash out of my shop/classroom at new school and backed into a guide wire with the tailgate down! thanks.

 

Not positive but I think all tailgates 2500 3500, and the 3rd gens are all the same

 

2003-2008. 1500-2500-3500 all the same.

 

Try craigslist.

 

Not nearby but...

Craigslist is the place to look even though you have to wade through the retards and scam artists. You may be able to find something locally.
