Restore the structural integrity of your classic Ford truck bed with this LH Complete Tailgate Post, engineered for 1973–1979 Ford F-Series Styleside pickups. Designed as a full replacement assembly, this AMD tailgate post provides a complete rust repair solution, extending from the bedside to the tailgate hinge area to ensure proper tailgate alignment and long-term durability.
Manufactured with OEM-style stamping accuracy, this post features the correct contours, mounting points, and thickness to match the original Ford design. It's the ideal replacement for trucks suffering from rust, collision damage, or weakened hinge support—common issues on Dentside F-Series beds.
(Styleside beds only — not for Flareside models.)
Auto Metal Direct (AMD) delivers premium restoration panels built to OEM standards for fit, strength, and durability. This complete LH tailgate post is the perfect solution for rusted or failing original supports, ensuring your tailgate operates properly and your restoration is built to last.
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.
