tailgate

I’m looking for the original OEM bolts that secure the lower tailgate strap eyelets (the hex head bolts with the wide flange, 8mm head). It looks like this on the image attached. One of mine on the other side was replaced at some point with a smaller flange bolt, and it doesn’t hold the strap...

As mentioned in the title, I can’t seem to find any tailgate decal patterns like mine. Could this be some strange aftermarket modification, or a sign that my Ranger is meant to be the prettiest of all the V6s? If it helps, it’s an 87.

I have a question you may be able to answer me on: is it true that the 1987 and '88 Ranger XLT pickups used a brushed-aluminum tailgate with the Ford oval logo on the right side (like the 1989-92 Ranger XLTs do)? I also wonder if my theory can be proven in a 1987 and/or '88 Ford Ranger...

I'm sure somebody's done something like this, i'd like to put a spare tire carrier across my tailgate like a bronco, wrangler, blazer, etc would have, i just like how they look plus then i'm not out another taillight next time my buddy rear-ends me; anyways, i'd need it to be able to swing out...

I was wondering if anybody has ever replaced there rear hatch with the window that doesent open to a rear hatch with a opening window. any ideas or suggestions.

I've got and 83 that had a broke tailgate cable when I bought it. I got one from a junkyard like new for it. but when I went to put it on, where the bolt goes into the tailgate, there is nothing there for it to screw into. Does anyone have a diagram of the tailgate latch assembly(on the sides)...

Hey guys, I am new here just got a 83 ranger 4x4 at a couple of months ago, traded a 95 taurus even for it. Runs good. Had to put a new tranny filter/ fluid, high mileage oil change, and a pcv valve, and a/c belt on it, but it runs fine. I drove it home. I haven't had time to take it off road...
