Question Where to find tailgate?

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid ? but im looking to find out how much a tailgate would cost and were i can get one fairly cheap i work long hours and have no time to really look at junk yards any help like price ranges would be appreciated im from Cali so anyone from here would be nice to answer my original tailgate was gone when I bought it because it had a custom tool /campershell with double doors and I decided to try to find a tailgate and a lighter campershell or maybe a aluminum roll up cover to save gas mileage

thanx for the help

and sorry i havent been around to chat or anything been a little busy

Try National Parts Depot NAPD. They have an OEM one for $478.55 and a repro one for $199.95. They also have a repro one with the internal parts latches cables etc for $249.95. Also, you can get one on ebay pretty cheap. I have seen them on ebay for less than 100 bucks. With shipping its probably over 100 bucks. There is a seller (thevirtualbodyshop) on ebay that will paint one to the color code on your truck for about 200 dollars if I remember right. The shipping on the larger items gets a little pricey. Since your truck is only one color that might be the way to go. Here is the item number to one of the paint to match ones on ebay. Just type the number in the search.

Item number: 8018767548

For that price it has to be an aftermarket part. I can't be oem. That is a good price though. I would probably go for that one.

I didn't mean that aftermarket replacement parts were bad they just are not made by Ford. I use alot of them myself.

F150, If you live in So. CA there is a good junk yard in Anaheim. All Ford Auto Wrecking. There moto is "If we ain't got it, Ford didn't make it". I've been there and they have a good selection. (714) 993-2110. Good Luck.

You can have mine. Shipping might kill the deal though - you decide.
