New Tailgate for 78f150 Styleside?

Hey everyone--My recent quest for arm brackets for the tailgate on my truck led me to re-examine the latches yesterday and when I went to grab what looked like a softspot on the tailgate, 3 of my fingers busted right through it. Needless to say, Im now in the market for a new tailgate as well as the brackets and also the internal latch hardware that didnt seem to work real well on the old one.

Does any one know where(websites) I can buy a good new tailgate for my Year/Model? I would like it to have the FORD letters raised like the old one. I shoulld probably get a new handle and latch rods as well.
