Billet Aluminum Tailgate Handle for 1987–1997 Ford F-Series Trucks
Upgrade the look and feel of your Ford truck with our billet aluminum tailgate handle, engineered specifically for 1987–1997 Ford F-Series models. Precision-cut from solid billet aluminum on a CNC machine, this handle offers unmatched durability, a smooth operation, and a premium appearance that enhances your truck’s classic styling.
Unlike the factory steel handle, which often becomes pitted, corroded, and dull over time, each handle comes in a raw aluminum state — with no coatings or paint applied — giving you the freedom to customize it to your liking (polish, anodize, powder coat, or leave it raw for a clean, machined look).
This tailgate handle is available in two configurations:
With Backup Camera: Includes a camera that is mounted behind the handle. This camera offers a clear, wide-angle view of both sides of your bumper and your hitch — ideal for parking, towing, or reversing with precision.
Without Backup Camera: Works as a direct OEM replacement, providing the same fit and function as the original handle but with the superior look and quality of billet aluminum.

CNC-machined from solid billet aluminum
Comes in raw aluminum finish (no coatings applied)
Optional integrated backup camera mount
Camera view covers both sides of bumper and hitch
Direct OEM replacement (camera optional)
Select your configuration from the drop-down menu — with or without backup camera

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.
This handle was a perfect solution for a backup camera. Although I have a rearview mirror camera so the camera that comes with it wouldn't work, I was able to find a camera that is identical that worked with my mirror.
a must have!! billet handle looks OEM camera hides away so you cant see it and when its raining or weather is bad you wont get a lot of that road juice on it. this thing is awesome easy install. OBS solutions nailed it out of the park again!
I wanna thank the people at OBS solutions really helpful really respectful. I’m definitely gonna buy more stuff from you guys.
I hook and unhook multiple trailers a day. This is the only clean/hidden camera option for these old trucks! I have a single din radio that plugged right into the camera and the video quality is exactly what I needed. The billet handle feels very nice!
My truck is a '96 F-350 Crew Cab Long Bed with a small lift, dual exhaust stacks, and a toolbox mounted behind the cab (between the exhaust). Reaching into the toolbox has always been a challenge, so I finally decided to splurge on this step—and I'm glad I did.
It has completely exceeded my expectations. My family and I have already taken a couple of camping trips, and loading and unloading the bed is so much easier now. The mount is incredibly solid, and installation couldn't have been any simpler.
My only minor suggestion would be to offer a version where the step sits a little farther toward the rear of the bed. In my case, the toolbox and exhaust stacks make that location a bit more convenient, but I realize that's a pretty unique setup.
**P.S.** I love the air fresheners! Such a unique and refreshing touch (pun intended). I'd love a couple of extras in my next order if possible. 😊
Kit worked perfectly. They threw in an air freshener which was a nice touch. Thanks OBS Solutions!
Loved the shirt and design. Fit nicely and comfortably. Washed it once and now the hem sits entirely above my belt buckle, shrunk almost 3 inches vertically.
These aren't technically made for the Excursion but they worked! No more horrific "pop" when I drive on uneven ground. Cheap fix to a horrible sound.
Awesome product. thank you!
Man it’s the little things that make a big difference. Never liked when I opened my hood and my eyes would go straight for the papier-mâché shims. Now with these things in there the engine bay looks so much better. Simple install and quality as usual. Very Happy
Absolutely love these things. I installed them like a year ago and never posted a review. Super easy to install and look sharpe as hell (even better at night). These guys do it right.
Just installed complete led upgrade....looks great....they actually dim out which surprised me...good products from obs solutions my go too for tasteful upgrades
Of all the upgrades I’ve made this one is my favorite. The braking feel is night and day difference, it’s worth every penny. I recommend installing the super duty P/S pump at the same time you do the vacuum pump delete kit. It makes it slot easier to install the P/S pump with the fan shroud removed. The delete kit doesn’t include two 18 gauge wires or splice connectors which you will need to wire the new vacuum pumps. For the price I think the kid should include these.
The light went in no problem and look great at night, the only down side was I ordered the wrong one, which is on me because I didn't realize I had the metal dome light. Only recommend to double check the kit you order. Sorry for the dirty dash, its a work in progress.
