If the tailgate is stuck in the closed position it will be one of three things. Well, four things if you include someone welding it shut but I hope you would notice the weld burns... lol. Now then. A- the hinge and releases are rusted solid. It's not likely but it is possible. B- Body damage can tweak the whole rear of the Bronco and jam the tailgate shut. C- (and the most likely) The rods inside the tailgate that release it from the latch pins are no longer connected to the handle. If neither A or B are the cause, get inside and remove the inside panel of the tailgate. Connected to the handle there will be a couple metal rods going left and right. They're held in place with little plastic clips that commonly rot, crack and fall apart. The little plastic clips are available for a few bucks at any auto parts store. Replace them, lube up the moving bits and test it out. it that fixes it, put it all back together and you're welcome. If not, well...
