Description
Reinforce the rear bedside structure of your 1973–1979 Ford Dentside F-Series Styleside pickup with this premium RH Bedside Tailgate Post Lower Bedside Reinforcement from Auto Metal Direct (AMD). This crucial inner bracket is positioned just forward of the tailgate post, where it securely ties the lower bedside/quarter panel into the tailgate support structure and the Inner Bedside Reinforcement (AMD pt# 718-4573-3, sold separately).
AMD’s OE-correct tooling ensures precise stamping, proper alignment, and structural strength—restoring integrity to an area commonly weakened by rust, stress, and repeated tailgate use. This reinforcement is essential when replacing bedside skins, repairing collision damage, or rebuilding the entire bedside/tailgate corner.
