5th Wheel Drivers-Tailgates

If you looking to replace or buy a new metal 5th wheel V tailgate?, you may like to read this. I called & ordered a new tailgate from Handy Industries 1-800-453-1314 (advertized in Trailer Life mag.) for my 03 Dodge. I asked what the P/N and price was and they told me it would be $265.00 plus shipping & no tax. But if I had a business address to send it too, (HEE HEE) it would be $160.00 plus shipping. Guess which price I paid?, my bill was $196.30, thats the best price in the world for a metal tailgate. Just thought this was worth passing on.
