This document is a scanned exploded-parts illustration from Ford (marked "Copyright FoMoCo") showing tailgate components, uploaded to the gallery of a 1974 Ford Bronco. The page contains several line drawings: at the top, an exploded view of the tailgate assembly itself with its inner tracks/channels, a support arm or strut, mounting screws, and small hardware items such as clips, bumpers, and striker pieces shown separately above it. At the lower left, a detail view labeled "Latch" shows the tailgate latch mechanism, its mounting screws, and an associated cylinder/plug component next to the tailgate edge structure. In the lower center, a view labeled "Drain" shows a drain trough or bracket assembly with a fastener installed from above and the surrounding body panel area. At the lower right is another exploded detail of a latch/handle or hinge assembly with screws, a link rod, and mounting plate. The only text on the page consists of the two callout labels ("Latch" and "Drain") and the FoMoCo copyright notice; no part numbers, years, or model designations are printed. A reader can learn the general arrangement and hardware relationships of the tailgate latch, drain, and related components for this Bronco-era Ford body.
