Message:		As I'm getting ready to paint my truck (bed is off now) I was taking to the tailgate off and busted a couple of the screws that hold the hing on. Anyone get a couple (or three, just to be safe) extras? Also, living on the coast in a constant state of wetness, I'm somewhat concerned that the hinge, as soon as it is used will remove the paint and rust up making it "hard" to open. Okay, laugh, I'm trying to fix her up nice. So... on modern trucks, I've seen a plastic cup in there that seems to work real nice. Anyone found one that would fit? NAPA can order them, but gotta know what model would work (and I don't have time to plunk around in the junk yard a couple of hours away). Thanks!!! Matt
