'95 Bronco left rear tailgate hinge
The left tailgate hinge (body side) is about worn through on my '95 Bronco and almost every time you open the tailgate it pops out of the hole in the hinge on the tailgate side. I have searched high and low and nobody seems to be repopping this part, which is surprising -- you can get about anything else for the tailgate on a '92-96, but not that. This part has two holes that are fastened with bolts that run through from behind the taillight through the sheet metal and into the hinge assembly, with a 3/8" or so post that sticks out and engages the other half of the hinge that is bolted to the tailgate.. Anybody know where I can find one of these?
Thanks in advance, Brian

A wrecking yard is probably your best bet.
But last I checked, I have several sets of tailgate hinges on a shelf somewhere.
Broncograveyard used to sell a tailgate hinge bushing kit, but seems they have discontinued it for some reason. It had a brass bushing that took up the tolerances. You could probably go over to McMaster Carr and come up with something that will work
