Tailgates





The tailgate chain support tabs are mig welded into position by our experienced welding department. The appearance of the welded joints on our tailgate assemblies far exceed the appearance of the welds that were once considered acceptable on mass produced tailgates We use the same quality and thickness steel that is used by today's "Big Three" auto manufacturers in all of our pickup and Bronco tailgates.
		A spot welding machine similar to those used on an assembly line, is used to weld the tailgate end channels to the tailgate skin. All of the welding necessary to assemble the original tooling tailgates is done at Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts in Concord, NC. A heavy stamping contractor operating in the US is responsible for producing the tailgate skins for Dennis Carpenter.
