Restore the rear structure of your classic truck with this Redline Restomotive® Complete Tail Pan Assembly for 1973‑1979 Ford Pickup models. Engineered for a precise fit, this high‑quality panel spans the rear of the bed below the tailgate, replacing the entire tail pan area that commonly rusts or suffers impact damage. Manufactured from heavy‑gauge steel with factory‑style contours, mounting points, and flanges, it ties together the rear bed floor, corner posts, and tailgate supports—ensuring structural integrity, clean appearance, and proper tailgate alignment for show‑quality results.
Installation:
Difficulty Rating: 4/5 – Requires welding and panel alignment.

Remove rear bumper and damaged tail pan. Cut out original spot welds and detach from bed floor and corners. Test‑fit new panel and verify alignment with tailgate and bed sides. Weld into place using MIG or plug welds. Grind smooth, apply seam sealer, and refinish with primer and paint before reinstalling hardware.
