Ouch! I did that long time ago, centered mine right into a street light
anyway if insurance is not an option, maybe a salvage yard could get a gate cheap? Also Not ideal unless you could use it? they have topper shells where you remove the gate and the topper puts a door or hatch in its place?
good luck man!
oh, if ya get it painted just find a good shop! I had the whole back the truck repainted. 1st shop did a horrid job, since they were state farm preferred shop, state farm let me pick another shop at no cost... that one turned out mint.

when I posted my earlier reply there was a blue one and a red one. Both new 2017's in Los Angeles CL for $200. They are out there.

Craigs List...I'm sure those aren't stolen.

I've had good luck with Craigslist but selling just a tailgate might be suspicious. Especially if you have to meet behind the 7-Eleven at midnight.

there are a few companies locally that do work truck conversions. Buyer beware, but there are frequently legitimate deals to be found.

Or you can just choose to look at everything as a cynic. That's okay too

Not a fair assumption because that's a major city. Majority of the country doesn't have the near the amount of CL postings.

Yeah, there is a conversion company near me in the Baltimore area that always has new take off tailgates for sale on CL but 90% of the time, they are the standard fleet sales white color one. $400 seems to be what they get for them also.
