contacted the local body parts dist to see if they could tell me if the 96 tailgate would interchange with my 98 they could not give me a straight anwser and also in formed me that they could not get me a new one that is the first time that i have heard of them not being able to get any body parts they told me to drive my truck up there and compare and that is what i am trying to avoid being it is so far away but if that is my only option i guess thats what i will have to do any hep?
