Need a Tailgate

I know this is probably not the way to do this, but I have not been able to post in the classifieds.<br><br>I messed up the tailgate on my 2003 Dodge 2500, and would sure like to replace it while keeping both arms and legs.<br><br>Truck is black, but I will consider another color then paint it.<br><br>Anybody have an idea where I might pick one up?

Re:Need a Tailgate

How did you mess up the tailgate? I backed mine in to the jack on my TT. Boy, that line-x makes a nice crunchy sound!

A good place to check is eBay. I don't see any out there for the 2003 right now, but they do appear from time to time. Many replace their current tailgate with an aftermarket one and have no use for the original.

Re:Need a Tailgate

Also your local shopping malls. Movie theatre parking lots are also good places to find &quot;parts&quot; :-X

Re:Need a Tailgate

How much are the tailgates going for? I would think they would be the same as the ones on the new half tons.<br>

Re:Need a Tailgate

You bought it from E bay? I was gonna suggest &quot;Yogi Bearing&quot; it, like someone else already said at the movies etc. <br><br>And besides, maybe it is a &quot;burned&quot; one! :<br><br>Nice price!<br><br>Hunter
