Default Alternative tailgates

Alright guys I need some ideas for a replacement tailgate. Some punk stole mine... I was wondering if you guys have any ideas. Thanks all!

By the way all the u-picks near me have no decent ford tailgates.

400 tops and I'm really open to anything. I've seen fifth wheels tailgates and I'm kind of on the fence with my opinion but I hear they help with mpg ahaha. And ill hunt down that sob for sure

Check and see how much a replacement is from LMC truck? I think you can buy every body panel brand new. That's a bitch that somebody would jack a tailgate.
