Tailgate Post - LH - 73-87 Chevy GMC C/K Fleetside Pickup; 73-91 Blazer Jimmy

Give your 1973-1987 Chevy & GMC C/K Fleetside pickup or 1973-1991 Blazer/Jimmy the factory-fresh finish it deserves with AMD’s premium Tailgate Post – LH (Driver Side). Purpose-built for Squarebody C10, C20, C30, K10, K20 & K30 trucks, this OE-quality sheet-metal restoration part restores structural integrity where the tailgate hinges and latches meet the bed side, eliminating sag, rattles and rust in one smart upgrade.

Stamped from heavy-gauge steel on precision dies, the Tailgate Post mirrors original GM geometry down to bolt-hole placement and inner support ribs, ensuring a painless weld-in fit. AMD finishes each post in a durable EDP coating that fights corrosion from the inside out, so your classic truck is ready for primer or paint right out of the box. Whether you’re tackling a full frame-off build or spot-repairing trail damage, this OE/OEM-style replacement blends seamlessly with adjacent panels for a like-new tailgate alignment and gap.

The left-hand tailgate post is a load-bearing pillar that carries every pound your tailgate handles—bed cargo, spare tires, even that cooler at the car show. Decades of use, Midwest winters or salty beach runs can thin metal and compromise latch strength. Swapping in AMD’s robust post re-establishes proper hinge geometry, protects fresh bodywork, and lets your Squarebody close with that satisfying click—no shims or guesswork required. It’s the smart way to future-proof your investment before final paint, bedliner or show-quality trim goes on.
