They show up on Ebay on a regular basis. There's several on there now that should work.
The other option is to make regular checks at places like Pick-a-Part.
Nice tail gates are hard to find. They took a beating.
As in all requests for large parts, it helps to know where you are located. I have a couple beat up ones that might work for you. But, shipping and packaging kills it for me.
Unless you have a camper special tailgate, they are not that easy to get off. If your friend did, I might suggest you look for the regular kind, or weld a piece of metal over the slot that makes it easily removable.
