This may go in the for sale \ wanted section but I'm posting it here cause I think it's more of a general question so here goes.

Some fool bumped me from behind yesterday and now I have a small dent in my tailgate and the plastic portion of the bumper (the part that covers the top and goes half way down the whole bumper) is slightly f**ked up. I want to replace the tailgate or repair the dent and replace that plastic portion of the bumper. How much do you think I'd be looking at spending and where do you think is the best place to find them? I've already started searching eBay, craigslist, etc. but thought you guys might have a few more sources. Thanks in advance.

 

certifit.com (not sure how close the closest one is off the top of my head). It will be easier to find an older tailgate. It just won't have the large Ford emblem in the middle. The bumper should be easier as its the same since 93 (IIRC)

 

Cool. Any other sources?

 

Check local junkyards. You can get a old tailgate and swap your emblems over, it won't look the exact same but it will be close. Here's the 06 emblems on my 04 tailgate:

 

Thanks for the visual. I may just hold out and take my truck to a body shop in 2yrs and have it repainted \ straightened. It's just killing me to know theres a new dent. So far I only have 2 and they're tiny.
