1990 tailgate hinge replacement

I just bought a 1990 f150 and the tailgate hinges are rusty and the left is broken so the tailgate falls when opened. I bought an aftermarket hinge kit but this looks like plastic/rubber and doesn't make sense how it will replace all hinge parts.

So far I haven't been able to locate any parts for this problem other than trying to find an older truck at the salvage yard without rusted hardware - seems impossible.

If anyone has a solution or can give me some idea how the Dorman hinge kit works I would appreciate it.

LMC sells the parts - in metal.

dont even try to get the old screws out with a screwdriver - use an impact driver.

if you goto LMC Truck Parts: Chevy Chevrolet Blazer S10 GMC Jimmy S15 Ford Bronco Ranger Pickup Pick Up Accessories/Catalogs and dial up the proper catalog, enlarge the indexpages and look for tailgate, then goto the page grouping and expand it - they are different left to right.
