Mounting brackets for the step (running) boards of a Ford Ranger. Mentioned in the first link are the "yl5j 16484-c" Might it be possible that you switched the 5 and 8 in the part number ? As far as I know YL5J-16485-B is one of the brackets for a Ranger XLT. Rear brackets differ from front brackets. The step bar sets (OEM from Ford ) are coded like "xxxx-164nn-X(XX)". I assume the brackets have different (sub) part numbers. (See pandahi.com remarks) http://accessories.ford.com does not go far back in history (sadly), http://www.oemfordpart.com does. However, only for the sets and not for the individual items.
