85/86 Lariat tailgate panel

[Fryeken]

Anyone have a spare 85/86 lariat tailgate panel?  Mine is missing the red reflective insert. Thanks!

If you aren't concerned with being year-correct, you can branch out to the next gen trucks also. The font will be different and some had black inserts but I see a lot more of them around than the 85/86 ones.

I've had that one saved to keep an eye on what it goes for out of curiosity but the red insert looks pretty rough...but it is present.

I have a panel from a 96 that I was looking at swapping out the red panel onto mine.
I also saw this one and was thinking about it, and trying to source the letters from salvage yards.

Since you guys are talking about tailgates here, I just happened to come across this one in for sale in Canada while surfing for other stuff...

The seller doesn't know what year it is obviously, and neither do I, but figured you guys would know.

Removed because wrong. Shaun is correct - stepped into the parking lot and looked at a coworkers truck to confirm.

Let's try 86?-92 Ranger for that last panel. The panel is the same 83-92, but somewhere around 85 or 86 the early FORD script was replaced by a blue oval.
