Where are you located? Search for Jake's and Montana Overland. Place an ad in the WTB (want to buy) section here and at IFSJA. Search Craig's List. Your only source will be used. Replacement tailgates are scarce. Dash pads universally deteriorate due to the sun, and 1972 was a while ago. Does a '72 gate have chains or a latch? There was a change-over in that era sometime.

I've been looking for a tailgate for my 72 for 3 years now, I've seen a few if I wasn't too picky but the old chain side tailgates are hard to come by, even harder. You just have to keep an eye out and jump on it when you find it. I've never seen a dash pad for sale, fortunately for me mine is actually in good condition.
