I recently bought a 2003 Ram 2500. It is pretty good shape, except the previous owner removed the tailgate via a gooseneck trailer. For some reason, he also took off the hardware that is on the bed that the tailgate mounts to. All three pieces, the one for the tailgate hinge at the bottom, the one for the straps, and the one for the latch at the top.

I'm not even sure what the proper names for these are or if there is anywhere to get them other than the dealer. I checked rock auto and googled tailgate hardware, but just got handles and such.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Finally found a dealer that could find the parts on their system.

He called them:
shim/bushing
striker bolt
mounting bolt for cable

about $70 for all pieces for both sides.
