Anybody know of a source for a quality aftermarket tailgate for my 96 F250?
I received one with the truck when I bought it, but it was a piece of junk. I didn't know they made sheet metal that thin.
The one's I've found online for $100-$200, I'm afraid are more of the same.
Ford offers one as original equipment for $500.
Is there anything out there cheaper, but with good quality sheet metal?

Yea most of the cheap ones are junk very thin and dent and bend easily, the factory one is actually really durable, but expensive, i think your best bet is a used one.
