tailgate order did not go well...

Just got my brand new tailgate from Classic Parts today. What a bummer.

First the tailgate had a nice golf ball sized dent in it. The pics will tell a thousand words.

Then it didn't even fit, AT ALL!!!

The hinge holes were too small. They wouldn't even come close to fitting over my original hinges. The tailgate hinge receptor diameters measure at 1 3/8", and my hinges (factory?) measure at exactly 1 1/2" outside diameter. I really believe I have the correct hinges as my old gate fit great, but you never know, I guess. This was a tri plus blank fleetside tailgate by the way.

Where can I get a real tailgate (or hinges)?
