replacement k5 tailgate

Anybody use a new replacement tailgate for a k5 blazer? What brands are the best fitting?

I see Sherman makes one but ive never used there parts and classic industries sells one but it doesn't say who its made by.

I haven't heard any mentioned as junk. Is yours rusted or bent? They are still fairly easy to get at the pick and pull here.

The one I have is split down the center and somebody attempted to weld it back together. I don't see to many square bodys in the yards around here anymore
