Best place for tailgate

Im looking to replace my dented tailgate. Where is the best place to get a replacement tailgate. Dont really have the time to go search junk yard so just looking for a good place to buy one for fairly cheap.

You may call any local companies that install utility box and flat beds. They may sell just the tail gate, but may want to sell the whole box instead. If you can find an outfit that installs lift gates they may have some tailgates stockpiled. Just thoughts!
