Description

Bedside Tailgate Post Lower Bedside Reinforcement – LH – 1973–1979 Ford F100 F150 F250 F350 Styleside (Dentside) Pickup | AMD

Strengthen the rear bedside structure of your 1973–1979 Ford Dentside F-Series Styleside pickup with this premium LH Bedside Tailgate Post Lower Bedside Reinforcement from Auto Metal Direct (AMD). This critical inner bracket is positioned just forward of the tailgate post, where it plays a key structural role by tying the lower bedside/quarter panel into both the tailgate support structure and the Inner Bedside Reinforcement (AMD pt# 718-4573-3, sold separately).

Designed using AMD’s precise tooling for OE-correct fit and geometry, this reinforcement restores factory rigidity to an area commonly weakened by rust, collision damage, and years of tailgate use. Its placement ensures proper alignment and long-term strength for the bedside corner, especially important when installing new bedside skins or rebuilding the rear bed assembly.
