Panel-Smooth-R
DOES NOT INCLUDE TAILGATE
The OBS Solutions Aluminum Tailgate Panel fits 1987-1997 Ford F-Series Trucks ONLY. If your truck's tailgate did not come with a panel you will need to drill two holes on each end of your tailgate for this panel to work. We supply you with a template to do so. They DO NOT fit Bronco's Flareside beds or 1980-86 F-series trucks.
This product is sold as a raw grained aluminum piece. Due to the manufacturing and handling process, they may have small imperfections. These can be cleaned up and blended by gently sanding with 120gr, 220gr and red scotch-brite. If you choose to leave the panel raw, we highly recommend applying a clear-coat to preserve the finish. We also offer powder coat finished panels.
NOTE: Our Tailgate panel does not mount completely flush to the tailgate. Ford used special tooling and dies to mold the panel to the complicated contour and bends of the tailgate. The gaps in fitment are minimal and hidden by the taillights when the tailgate is shut. Please view and read our detailed instructions and photos prior to installation. With that being said, our panel mounts using factory fasteners and achieves secure adhesion to the tailgate through heavy duty 3M Body Panel Adhesive.
Product may take an additional 7 working days to ship.

Looks amazing
Couldn’t wait to install my brake lines on my OBS ford with super duty axles. They went right on, no problems, and look great.
I loved how simple they made this kit to install and how it incorporates the cooler mounts too. Super clean and straightforward.
Almost like they read my mind. I was trying to figure out a solution for a backup camera for so long. This is absolutely perfect. Amazing fit and finish.
The part fit perfectly and was easy to install. Keep making parts I need to get another 30 yrs out of this truck
Thanks
These went in pretty dang easy on my crew cab. Install took me a day, and most of that was just the wiring. The brackets fit perfect and they make for a sturdy step. My only hang up were the switches, after putting some noalox on the sheet metal screws they worked great.
Brake light bushing kit solved the problem. Kit wasn't available from a dealer thankfully I could get it here.
They are nicely designed and work as intended, and barely noticeable which was what I wanted, and that's why I'm not dropping a star. That said, I should also mention that $80 for a set of 4 small die cut plastic pieces is a bit too much.
