The Ford Ranchero rear gate is the steel tailgate that closes off the back of the Ranchero bed. It carries the styling of the car-truck and provides a secure, finished end to the cargo area. This is a used gate that has been inspected for rust, dents, and a working latch, and is ready to hang and finish to match your car.
Owners replace the rear gate when the original is rusted through, dented, or the latch no longer holds. On a classic like the Ranchero, a solid original gate is one of the harder body panels to source, so a usable used unit is a real find for a restoration or a driver. Finish it raw or paint it to match your exterior.
