1978-1996 Ford Bronco Tailgate Lock Cylinder Components - Exploded Parts Photos

This document is a photographic reference showing the components of the tailgate lock cylinder for Ford Bronco models from 1978 through 1996. It consists of three photo panels. The top panel lays out the disassembled lock cylinder parts in a row: an E-clip/snap ring, washers, a bent metal actuator arm/lever, a gasket or seal ring, the lock cylinder plug, and the cylinder housing. The middle panel shows the same components from another angle, including a close-up inset of the lock cylinder face and housing, plus a wire retaining clip shown at the right. The bottom panel shows the fully assembled tailgate lock cylinder unit with the actuator arm attached, viewed from the side, illustrating how the bezel, cylinder body, cam, and arm fit together. Aside from the title text identifying the parts and applicable year range ('78-96) and the SuperMotors watermark, there is no other text, no part numbers, and no written instructions. A reader can use these images to identify individual pieces of the tailgate lock cylinder assembly, verify part orientation during disassembly or reassembly, and confirm whether any components are missing from their own tailgate lock hardware.
