Tailgate bushings?

It seems that the Bullnose has bigger tailgate bushings than Bricknose or Aeronose.

Anybody have a suggestion about where to find 'em on the web? Amazon sold me these, which don't fit our Bullnose, but our Bricknose needed some too.

Yep, the bushings are different. Our page (Documentation/Exterior/Beds, Tailgates, & Components) shows that the base part number is 430B22, and you can see that they are different between Bulls and Bricks.

You might Google that part number.
