I was on the hunt on Facebook for a 2016-2019 F250/350 white tailgate for a friend up in Wisconsin. Junk yards wanted $1500 for them and most of the tailgates I found were 2019+ OR smashed up from being on a work truck. I found one in Elgin exactly the option combo he was looking for. $400 Looked nice. Messaged the guy and he was just weird. Wanted me to meet him at this random grocery store at night, couldn't tell me where the part came from, didn't have any other parts from the same truck, and wouldn't provide a vin from the part or the truck it came off of. I'm like if you can't tell me any of this I am going to assume this is stolen, and he deleted the post the next day. Google told me he had some police history so I said fuck it not dealing with this guy and stolen parts. I would guess it's not hard to remove a tailgate from an unlocked truck with an impact and a few min of time. It was a great deal tho.
