f250 Tailgate

Hi everyone... I crushed the tailgate to my 2003 f250 diesel yesterday in the snow.. What is my best option for replacing? Going to a body shop and letting them do it? Should I buy a new one maybe from online and get it painted? Im looking for the easiest cheapest way. I think a new one would be easier then hunting one down at a junk yard. I am in NJ also.

they fit...plus they are alot easier to lift due to torsion bars inside of it...the only thing that you will have to change is a clip or two and if you really want to add something to your truck get the one with the step....alot of ppl here have done this it gives the truck a different look...you may be able to find one in your color on ebay...
