hi guys I dont know if this is the right place to post this but I figured if anyone can help its the members here. I have a 1992 gmc typhoon, and today I went to open the back glass and twisted the handle on the tailgate and it fell off in my hand, I am trying to find an original handle but having a hard time locating one any ideas?

check with LMC truck. They have tons of replacement parts for 90's era S series. There isn't really any difference in many Typhoon/S series parts.

but keep the lock cylinder--remember the key also opens your doors! Did the retaining clip snap, or did the handle break? If it is just the retaining clip, you can pick up another at Autozone and slip it on
