Not fully certain where you refer. Tailgate latch rod, LMC truck shows availability. Door latch rod is definitely more troublesome to find. Used is the best bet there. They don't commonly fail so reproduction is not happening.

Thank you, the right latch rod keeps breaking the clip which cause it to come loose from the handle of the tailgate. When I took it out to look at it, at some point it look like someone tried to weld it and ruin it. The left rod looks perfectly good and have had zeroe problems doesn't look damage or anyone try to weld it. I have always been taught if there is more than one part that are the same to replace both at the same time, so that's why I want to replace both. Thank you I did find them on LMC!!!!!!!
