Gsmblue Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Did our model Broncos have a rear valance to fill the gap between the tailgate and bumper? If so, what is it called and where could I find one? Mine has a body lift and a piece of diamond plate that clatters around, looking for a better solution. Thanks!

ArdWrknTrk Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Ah, would this fit a bronco?? I note that JBG offer rear sills for both F-series and Bronco's but they say they won't interchange. https://shop.broncograveyard.com/1980-1996-Ford-Bronco-Rear-Cross-Sill-Above-Valance/productinfo/34099/ https://shop.broncograveyard.com/80-86-Ford-Truck-Rear-Cross-Sill-Above-Valance/productinfo/34095/ This tells me that the swinging gate fits to a seal in the body shell and the tailgate obviously doesn't. I'm not sure how that roll pan attaches but the body contour down there is different. Are you any good with a MIG welder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what it's going to take to marry that pan to the sill of a bronco. (Might not be too bad) You've got ESPY and a pickup as well. Perhaps you could take some measurements or templates to see what you're getting into? 💡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Ah, would this fit a bronco?? Did you want the one with the license plate cutout? Won't the bumper cover the plate? The smooth one is half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call on taking measurements. I will do that. I wonder if I can get the dimensions from LMC. Just trying to find a cleaner way ti fill that gap as Espy had a 2.5 inch or so body lift.

myrl883 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Yep. Just got to work on the “how” ! Yes, Broncos had a plastic filler between the body and bumper. Look at 17808 in the parts catalog - that's probably the correct base number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
