If your hardware isn't completely ruined I would just swap out with the new one. Otherwise you could that is if you even come across a tailgate from the junkyard that isn't the same color, paint the tailgate.

I would check with bodyshops too. An '02 f150 in a junkyard is gonna be hard to come by.

well i believe a 97-03 will be the same tailgate, i know theres a 97 or 98 in a junk yard i was thinkin i could just get that tailgate and get it painted at my college for cheap since we have a auto body class and they always need something to do lol
