Source for a 8 foot express bed tailgate

Anybody know where to get a tailgate for the 8 foot bed? I see them for the 6 foot bed but it is narrower then the 8 footer.

Tailgate

What kind of truck? I have a tailgate that came with a bunch of miscelleneous parts I dragged home. I only discovered after I got it home that it was about eight inches wider than what I wanted. I think it came off a fifty three or fifty four F-series. It needs a little work, but there's no rust or dings...just a bend on the top that was probably caused by something heavy being dropped on it while it was open.

It is a 1950 F3 it has the writting in script or cursive as I call it. There is a picture of the tailgate in my gallery. It is the 5th picture.

The tailgate that I have has block letters that spell FORD. I'll measure it this morning and post the dimensions by this afternoon.
