Tailgate replacement help (mine stolen)
My tailgate was stolen and I'm trying to find a good replacement. Does anyone know of an online resource to order the entire assembly? I would like something as close as possible to an oem replacement. I've seen several aftermarket gates but don't know what's good or bad, thanks

I have not need this place but I still keep the site handy just in case. They could pull one from their yard or they do have an aftermarket phone line. Worth a try. http://midwayauto.com/

Thanks all for the replies. Mine is a white 2003 3500 4x4 diesel. I did file a claim and have already received a check for a replacement.
mkinla, thank you for the offer. I will get back to you on that if I need it. Another member sent me a pm with a gate for sale. Where are you located so I can try to figure shipping cost. I'm zip code 85374 surprise, az.

Thanks everyone for the info and offers. I found a good used tailgate off of an '07 1500 being parted out. It was in great shape and the price was right.

When you get your new gate take and put a hose clamp around the the hinge socket on the side with the slot in it , passanager side on my 03. Tighten it on, gate will work like normal but then they have to carry a screw driver to get it off so its not a quick open, unhook 2 cables and run deal.

Thanks, Ive seen some pics of the hose clamp setup. I'm planning to do that asap. Having the tailgate stolen is a real PIA. Would hate to have that happen again. I'm also looking at some of the locking latch replacement stuff.
