I can buy a generic tailgate locally for about 100 bucks, but they are a waste of money. The body shops in your town order their aftermarket body parts from a jobber somewhere. They all do. They can get you a generic gate for a hundred or so from them.

The last one I bought fit so poorly, that in a fit or rage, I threw it into the street in front of my house. My driveway is about 40 feet long, so that should tell you something. If I can throw the thing 40 feet, it ain't much of a tailgate.

The board vendors sell a Goodmark or a Tri-Plus tailgate for more money, but they are a good unit. It will be heavier guage metal and will fit properly.
