Re: Tailgate
They were riveted on the replacement tailgate I bought and I had to drill them out.1970FordTK wrote:Ok another newbie question, how do you get the crome FORD cover off of the tailgate on the Ranger model? And yes I am this stupid

mak yours sounds like the custom/explorer/sport custom deal.
if it is the full gate cover panel(that is it fills the whole cnter of the gate then its should be screwed in with philips head. but you'll probably have to drill it out anyways as on my last two ranger/ranger xlt gates the screws were seized up.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

I never noticed there was a difference until you mentioned it. I see the diff styles in some of the factory lit pics on this site.rjewkes wrote:mak yours sounds like the custom/explorer/sport custom deal.

re: Tailgate
Its the full coverage one, so the screws are all the way through to the back side of the tail gate?

re: Tailgate
Either Phillips-head screws or rivets...I've seen both. Just drop the tailgate and look at the back side...you'll see 'em.
