Default where to buy new replacement body parts?

I found a site a few days ago that sold new replacement body parts such as doors, fenders, etc. I found the site after clicking a link here on blazerforum.com that went to some junkyard site and in turn had a link to the new body parts.

I since for the life of me can't find the place.

I know this is not a lot of information to go on but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask

I'm looking for a rear tailgate for my 93 blazer 4-door 4x4. The site I found had a new tailgate, black primer.... if I remember correctly... a little less than $100.

I've submitted my info to several sites that submit your request to salvage yards and only ONE has replied back that they have a tailgate for this blazer and they want $200 for it which seems high to me. I'm not going to have the blazer repainted (but it would have been nice to find a matching color one if possible), so I'd rather go with the new one for less $100 than $200 for a used one.

Any ideas?

Unless I'm over looking it, I already checked there. They have a tailgate for a S10 but I don't see one for S10 Blazer.

thank you to everyone that has offered suggestions thus far.

car-part.com does have some listings for used tailgates in the $350-$400 range. So I guess that $200 tailgate is not that bad after all.

Next time I see a dead blazer for $500 I'm gonna buy it if parts cost that much LOL
