R-Oval
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.
***The FORD 7 x 2 3/4" Emblem is not supplied*** You can order these from Amazon.
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.

Thought I would be a good fishin buddy and hook the boat up to Clems F150. Unfortunately do to a combination of darkness, rain, and my eagerness to get on the Kokanee I rammed the tongue of the trailer into his tailgate. Rather than replace the whole thing and have to try and match colors I bought him one of these. He was tickled pink and told me I could tongue punch his rig anytime!
This is the perfect fit and perfect look to bring your truck into the 20th century
Fantastic quality. The piece was packaged very securely so the grain on the raw aluminum was perfect so scratches of any kind. Shipping was very fast as well. I used shark hide metal protectant on it to protect the finish. Ive had really good success with that on an LJ I had with raw aluminum panels on it. Even drove it in Colorado winters and it protected the finish great.
Exceeded my expectations. Thank you.
Everything lined up perfectly, install was super easy. As mentioned in the description there is a small gap on the side, but you’d never notice it. The near chrome powdercoat is a close to OEM finish without the maintenance of raw aluminum. Would definitely get it again!
Fit perfectly and has reinforced the broken plastic door panel bracket with high quality metal.
The kit arrived quickly and was exactly as described, especially for parts that are hard to find, the bonus swag was a pleasant surprise, now my S&%T Box smells wonderful. Will defiantly recommend you all, especially seeing you are on Oregon USA company...but not Portland.
Can’t get instructions to view them but RAD purchase and it will be great build. Hoping to work in a 04’ F350 SD HD edition Crew cab SRW
The swap was pretty straight forward. The cables are huge compared to stock. Just be careful to wire the solenoid up right. Original starter had a spade wire connector but i replaced the oldie and the new one comes with a proper threaded lug. If you're trying to build reliability in these old trucks, I think these are a wise purchase. Old cables really were not sufficient.
This works awesome! Fixed my HVAC controls like new.
Gret products great company.

everything fits perfect and works great
Started out needing the drivers side repaired, and figured if I do one why not do both.
Many times I have welded in reinforcement and so on to fix these and this kit here from experience makes life so simple I will not be using/doing anything else from here forward.
They fit perfectly in the cup on both sides, no gaps, no rivet holes lead to anything important behind. Comes with everything you will need aside from a 1/8” drill bit.
I recommend using a center punch to all of your holes so you don’t walk the bit given some of the holes are on slopes.
This brought my door handle from sloppy to sturdy and firm and I don’t see it getting sloppy again.
Incredibly happy worth every cent.
Purchased the 10” of travel Bilsteins for my 1984 bullnose to pair with a 99 Dana 60 RSK swap. Came quick and price was very competitive. Plan to purchase another set for the rear now to match my Sky's shackle flip.
Very easy Install, and looks great. Works way better than the original hood springs.
