    I need to put my tailgate back on my truck. And I lost the mounting bolts to go into the side of the bed.
    I have seached to no avail.
    Does anyone know the part numbers for the bolts and bushings that attach the tailgate to the bed?
    Thank you.

    The bolt listed in your link is the screw that holds down the access panel on the tailgate.

    And I had just read the second link.

    I had assumed the bolt would be special and have a non threaded shank, I was mistaken. Now I need to find the nylon bushing for the hinge.

    Go to pull a part, and take some from one of those trucks. Just throw them in your pocket and you’ll save $$$

    Any part outs on Craigslist or marketplace near you? There’s a guy in Louisville on marketplace that hordes older tacos and parts them out

    And I appreciate all the help.

    The army has me stuck at Fort Bliss and heading to Fort Carson. It really makes it hard to get anything done right now.
    No wheels till I can pick something up in Colorado.
