Tailgate handle help

Hi all, does anyone know where I can get a replacement nut and bolt for the tailgate handle latch. After removing it (to replace the the rusted handle) I accidently stripped it and is unable to thread it back. Yes, I know I can go to a local "pick your part", but I don't want to. Any help is appreciated.

Did you look at Dennis Carpenter or LMC Trucks?
Check out the links section, I'm sure one of them would have the replacement parts you need.

Or try posting a link in the parts wanted section, someone might have one laying around off a parts truck.

LMC has the handle hinge bolt and nut
part #49-8416 but its $17

If you need the threaded inserts that the faceplate screws thread into, you'll need to fabricate something.
