Panel-Smooth-B
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.

Love them they worked perfect just what I was looking for
This step makes it easy for me to get into the bed of my 1995 F250 2wd. Instructions were easy to follow, 20 minutes start to finish!! Looks great and does what I want. Picked it up Friday at the NO BS OBS Truck Show. Thanks for organizing the show and for the terrific parts!

These steps look the best imo, and there's no denying the quality of the design and materials. They are extremely robust, and should last a lifetime, while also being very sturdy compared to the hoop steps. Cost is the only con, but I'm sure r&d plus fabrication wasn't cheap, and I'm happy supporting OBS Solutions!
Very impressed with these lights both in quality and ease of install. They’re WAY brighter than the old lights. They plug in to the original bulb socket perfectly. The instructions are easy to follow. Can’t say enough good about them!
The truck I just bought was missing its hood springs. This is a far better option than tracking down a new set and rolling the dice on if they’d be in good shape. Parts arrived well packed and were shipped quickly. The install was super smooth with the slick little template provided. They attach firmly and open smoothly. Way better than some generic kit with tiny brackets and pop rivets. The guys are killing the game with their innovation and quality!!
Another hit from the folks at OBS solutions. These swing locks are the nicest parts I’ve seen on the market. I felt like a heathen bolting cheap mirror heads onto them. Well packaged, quickly shipped and excellent installation instructions. If your truck has swing locks or Nemo mirrors, this is the kit you need!
