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

This document is a photographic reference showing the components of the Ford Bronco tailgate lock cylinder, applicable to model years 1978 through 1996 (as stated in the image caption '78-96). It consists of three photo panels. The top panel lays out the individual disassembled parts, including a small E-clip/retaining clip, flat washers, a gasket, the actuating lever arm, a spring retaining clip, the lock cylinder cap, and the cylinder housing. The middle panel shows the same components arranged in assembly order, with inset photos showing the lock cylinder in partially and fully assembled states, plus the wire retaining clip. The bottom panel is a large close-up of the fully assembled tailgate lock cylinder with its bent lever arm attached, showing how the pieces fit together. There is no textual legend, part numbering, or torque data; the value of the document is visual—allowing an owner rebuilding or reassembling a Bronco tailgate lock to identify each component and its orientation.
