Talking Chrome on the tail gate

does anyone know if the chrome piece on the tail gate of a 94-96 model will fit a 89 model?

Its brushed aluminum but it should fit any T-gate from 1980 through 1996. You will need to drill about ten holes in the gate to get the expansion pins and 10/32 studs to slip into place.

greystreak92, I am removing an old dented one to replace with this 94-96 one. Are you saying, because of the different year it will fit, but I will need to drill some holes?

Thank You

If your removing an old aluminum panel the 94-96 will bolt into the same holes, the only difference is the 94-96 panel has a black reflector instead of the red reflector the earlier Bronco's had.

Ditto to what 94xlt said. Didn't realize you were replacing it on a T-gate that already had one.

Thanks guys. thats what I needed to know. There is one on e-bay for $50 plus $25 shipping, do you think that is a good deal, or would a bone yard be better. Do you all know if, when I have them both off, can I replace the red reflector with the black reflector?
