wtb-tailgate handle assembly

i'm working on my lifted 85, and run into a little snag

i'm looking for a very nice, smooth working ( i know thats rare ) tailgate handle assembly.....i dont need the rods that go on both sides, just the handle assembly part...this one is rusted out, and all bent up...like most all of them out there

anyone have a good one they'd part with????

thanks

Re: wtb-tailgate handle assembly

dang it man I just throw away my old 76 tailgate yesterday, because it wouldn't work on the 86 4x4. It's handle worked fine but the tailgate was bowed slightly. if you only would have needed it a couple days ago.

Re: wtb-tailgate handle assembly

Crap I'm glad you said that I live at monaville now about 5 or 10 minutes from holden need to change that.

No man all my tailgate guts went with it. I took the hinges/trunions and links or arms and put on the 86 but the tailgate was too wide? so I scrapped it to clean the place up.

Have you tried lmc or another online place? They have the rods, handle, links, and hinges(both parts) for like 70 I think. Might find only the ones you need for cheapier

Re: wtb-tailgate handle assembly

I have a rusted out tailgate off a 77 Blazer sitting up behind my garage under a Blazer roof that I can check on Saturday for you if you still need one. Let me know.
