Tailgate release handle

Does anyone have a extra tailgate release handle assembly? I haven't been able to find one locally in any of the salvage yards around here.Thanks

i looked last time i was at the junkyard, and it seems tailgates are the worst to find parts for.

you might be able to get it from ford or a dealership, or maybe LMC truck parts.
