in need of a tailgate

[Crushertx3]

today as Ms Linda was leaving the flea market she backed into the gate post at the market and buckled my Tail gate
as we have to leave it down because of the bike lift

we have been driving with it down for over 3 years but today was one of those days she just did not notice the extra sticking out (oh well)

so I have been wanting to take the lift out anyway and go back to using a trailer and have the truck repainted so now it looks as if it will happen sooner than expected

Sorry to hear that and hope you recover soon.

ouch! well just to make the search easier, the supercrews have the same tailgate as the flaresides.

She only missed the bike ramp by 2 inches , if I had my monkey on a stick (slide hammer) and a little help I could get most of it out

Geez, didn't know that the tailgate always had to be lowered with your bike lift. Three years with no mishaps was pretty darn good.

as 356 stated you can pic one up in the local junkyard pretty cheap...if your lucky evenfind a black one....If you can 't find one local do that online salvage yard search

Not worth tryin' to fix ... dime a dozen in yards. Looks like an opportunity to justify a shave?

Dont bother fixin it. Find one in a scrap tard for 30 bucks, Swap emblems and roll!!!

well the lift has to come out to take the gate off so while it is out I wil have the bedliner sprayed in
not doing any of it anytime soon am still trying to recoup from taking time off last month and having to hire a new employee this last week

The pinstrip will probably cost more than the used tailgate....Hope you get it fixed for a decent price.

[Harley#356]

at least for the 00's all you need is an orange pinstripe and it'd match OEM close enough.

I can pin stripe it my self
