I am looking for a non rusty, non dented tailgate for my wagon. I do not need any trim, hardware or badges. Would appreciate any leads anyone might have on a good tailgate. Thanks,

Maybe Potomac'In fredrick Md. They advertise in the Star.Excellent company.

Michael,
Thanks. What is the whole name of the parts place in Potomac? I'm not familiar with it as I'm up here in Michigan. I can do a search of yellow pages on yahoo if I have the name and the town.
Is this a salvage yard?

kirk potomacs phone no is.1-800-831-7686.Ask for brian.

Scapegoat,
I sure would appreciate any info about a tailgate that you could get your hands on. By the way, where in the north are you located? I have a buddy that may be travelling to CA. next month, so its quite possible he could bring back the tailgate for me. Thanks,

Thanks Michael,
I called Potomac and he doesn't have any currently, but took my name and number in case he gets one in. Appreciate the lead.

Stockton Auto parts, www.stocktonauto.com , says that they have one for $500 in their online search. You should call them at 1-800-235-8733 to check. I have never dealt with them but they have a good search engine and have a nice web page.

If you deal with them, please post your impressions of them.

r90skirk,
I happen to have a good tailgate from a dead wagon I bought for parts for my beloved 83 300TDT.I bought my wagon several years ago with high mileage.It has same engine with no work done to it,but the tranny was changed by original owner.I just did the 305,000 mile service.Interestingly enough I'm going to Stockton today on business.It's less than an hour away if you take the superslab.Anyway how does $350.00 plus shipping sound? It's the same old story;Ihaven't needed it yet,because I have it.As soon as I sell it,someone will cave mine in.Tailights for a 123 sedan are a dime a dozen out here in CA.,but try finding a used wagon tailight.When I bought my wagon the left tailight was broken.I had the car about a week,and while we were at dinner someone who stayed too long at the bar backed into the right one.Why couldn't he have just broken some more out of the left one? Anyhow you get the picture.

Peter

Thank-you for the lead, I will keep it on file.

Autozen, I appreciate the info/offer. I had a fellow contact me about a nice tailgate that he has, and is only 40 minutes from my house. I will be running over there on the 9th (of March) to take a look. If it doesn't pan out, I will keep you on file for future contact. Thanks very much.
