Take the old lock mechanism apart Jacob. The lock cylinder is probably ok unless someone punched a screwdriver through it. That way you can still use the same key as your door.

I have a extra tailgate that was pretty rusty, and it has the handle and stuff, but its 2 and a half hours away at my dads farm. If you dont get one soon I can get it for ya next time I go out there.

You betcha...

7L3Z9943400AA .. Tailgate Handle-Locking

7L3Z9943400AA replaced: XL3Z9943400AAA & F75Z9943400AA & F65Z9943400AAA.

MSRP: $39.73 // FTEpartsguy.com price: $28.61

This is a brand new part number change (from XL3Z to 7L3Z), the reason the online catalog price is different than what is posted above.

Type the above part number into Ed's site to see all the applications.

The direct link to Ed's site (FTEpartsguy) is on this page among the sponsors.
