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).
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
