Need some help ordering my bro-in-laws Christmas present...

[rudeguy]

He needs the hinge assembly for the tailgate of his 98 Chevy 1500. He needs the part that goes on the truck as well as the part on the tailgate. I was hoping to order them from Rockauto, but I can't both part there. Any help would be appreciated. Other sites have called the pieces the trunnion and hinge. Rockauto lists what I would call the trunnion as the hinge.

That's a real man's Xmas present lol.

Ebay will have buy-it-nows on everything you listed, probably less expensive. Might have to check on the quality though.

He is also getting a 128 led flashlight! We don't play around with girly gifts.

I just don't know what to search for. He doesn't need the handle/release...just the parts that attach to the tailgate and then to the body.
