Description
Restore factory-correct structure and support to the rear bed assembly of your 1973–1979 Ford Dentside F-Series Styleside pickup with this premium LH Bedside Tailgate Post Inner Reinforcement from Auto Metal Direct (AMD). Designed to match original Ford construction, this component installs between the outer bedside skin and the tailgate post reinforcement, strengthening the lower interior corner of the bed at the tailgate opening.
On factory bedsides, a small flange from this reinforcement is visible below the bedside, making correct reproduction essential for authentic restoration results. AMD reproduces this panel using high-quality steel and accurate stamping to ensure a clean fit, proper alignment, and long-lasting durability. For complete stacking of the tailgate post structure, pair this part with AMD replacement piece #718-4573-2L (listed in related items).
