Help buying a tailgate

I need to buy a tailgate for my 1990 F250 because it has none.

I am looking at this straight mesh gate so that I can run a chain through it. I found a V style for a lot cheaper but I like the straight gate better.

I just need something to keep stuff from sliding out and a net won't work because occasionally I need to lengthen the bed.

Anyone have any recommendations where to buy one? It doesn't have to be anything fancy and I am not planning to pull a fifth wheel so it doesn't need to be a gooseneck either.

I have called several of them. They all want $100-$200 for used ones and none matching the color of my truck. That is part of why I decided to go with a bar or mesh gate.
