Does anyone have a source for a repro (or NOS?) gasket for the wagon/ranchero tailgate handle? I am in need of one. Any leads appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have looked for the past 3 years to find the same thing.  No luck.

I had the same problem, in the end I had to get the local gasket shop to cut one for me.

Thanks, alstoy! Do you have a pic of your custom gasket? Since this is a moulded piece, I'm curious to see how a shop cut one to fit. Thanks!

I carefully repaired an old gasket with a dab of black silicone,  Mark

Sorry, no photo, its on the wagon. Good luck.

Thanks for the help, everyone - I'll keep looking for a decent used one...

I did see one on Ebay about 1 year ago that came with the handle.  I wish I would have grabbed it.  Good luck.
