I've got them side by side in the driveway, but darned if'n I never have time to stop as I'm running out in the daylight, or can see things in the dark when coming back at night.
I think I might even have the Bronco latches (but not striker plates) on the bench that I can take over to the pickup tailgate.
Will try to get that info for you tomorrow. My memory tells me that the latches are larger on the pickup, but that the striker plate might be the same.
But fallible memory is why we confirm with physical proof!

They (full size truck) might be "close", but they are smaller on the early Bronco. Here is a thread you might find interesting come tailgate post replacement time. With some good pics, just read and scroll.
