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 RH Bedside Tailgate Post Inner Reinforcement from Auto Metal Direct (AMD). Designed as an OE-accurate reproduction, this component installs between the outer bedside skin and the tailgate post reinforcement, providing crucial strength to the lower inner corner of the bedside at the tailgate opening.
On original beds, a small flange from this reinforcement is visible below the bedside, making proper reproduction essential for restorations where authenticity matters. AMD manufactures this piece using high-quality steel and precise stamping to ensure proper fitment, correct geometry, and long-term durability. For complete reconstruction of the tailgate post assembly, pair this part with AMD replacement piece #718-4573-2R (listed in related items).
