Looking for a tailgate
Can you guys tell me what years and models will work for a tailgate for my '86 F-250? All I've got is a cheapo fifth-wheel tailgate, and I'd like something more substantial.
There's somebody near me who has one from an F-150 he says will work on an '87, but I wasn't sure it would work on mine.
Also, what's a good price for a used tailgate?

At least IDI parts will help save another IDI 
I've gotten parts from many different trucks, all half tons. lol
Like my mint condition tailgate, came off a super cab 1990 F150. Never seen winter or any use judging from the condition of it, original paint, not a scratch on the back side.
I originally offered 100$ just for this tailgate, but the gentleman also had a fifth wheel gate (same nice blue color), a LUND sun visor and big deflector all for sale, he asked me if I was sure I didn't want anything else, I said not really, he said well, give me 150$ and take everything! What a deal I scored on that one! the 1 and a half hour drive was worth it!
