Wanted 1986 Ranger Tailgate Insert thing missing..???

[86RangerXL]

I was opening my tailgate one day and it just fell off, then I noticed one of the inserts seem to be missing. I can't find one anywhere for my year. Basically, what I'm looking for is this, but for a ranger. I may not even be looking for the right thing, I'm just assuming its this.

Looks about the same as the Dorman part I got for my 93. Local parts store. Cheap. Give it a try. If it doesn’t work return it. Those have been roughly the same forever. Also same as the ones for full-size trucks, if I recall correctly. I’ve also successfully pulled those from the junk yard.

Alright, thanks. I'll order one for a f150 for 83-86. Ford changed the way that those things attach in 87 and up I'm pretty sure.
