Same for Jeff's
http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/c-82-tailgate-bronco.html they show da brackets/bolts but no Torsion Rod (also called torsion bar)
I'd look in a local yard.
To search area yard for a Bronco (for parts); I use
ADP Hollander BEST LOCATER MyPartShop.com - Used Car Part Search
For the rod. suggest you select Back Glass Regulator and/or Back Glass
I believe the rod is same for 78-96

Tailgate Swapping
Amazingly throughout the number of body style changes from '78 through '96, the tailgate remained nearly the same. You can swap tailgates between all of these years taking note of the following:
I've broken down the 3 major changes into their respective years.
78 - 79 Type A
80 - 82 Type B
83 - 96 Type C
If your swapping within the same "type" it's just a direct swap.
If swapping A & B you have to switch the glass and glass support brackets
If swapping B & C you have to switch latches and striker plates
If swapping A & C you have to switch the glass, glass support brackets, latches & striker plates.
