Parts source for Ranger cap

I'm refurbishing a fiberglass cap on my bed and am looking for a source for a source for the following parts:
Hydraulic props for the rear lid
Locking handles for the lid
Top center rear brake light.

Any help appreciated

Brand and model would be helpful. Should be an aluminum plate with that info somewhere on the cap. Post that and maybe someone will have the info you need. :)

Hydraulics can be purchased from an auto parts store... they're normally standard parts.

The locks/handles can be purchased at a cap dealer for about 15-20 ish

Found it

I bought the cap used -- very used. It's fiberglass with an aluminum door. No product ID on it anywhere.

I did find some parts online and I'm hoping they will work.

Thanks.

When I got new shocks for mine, I just measured them and ordered accordingly. As far as locks go, I would thunk you could just buy a set on ebay or something. I don't think there are all that many options and the holes are all a similar size.

eBay was the source. Should be arriving in a couple days and we'll see how it goes. Now, does anyone have a suggestion for a cheap third brake light to go on the back of the cap?

I used a piece of alumnium riveted to some angle iron which is riveted to the hinge.mounted 6 small lights on it [3 to each brake light] so I have both brake lights and turning signals mounted higher up.
