Sherman Tailgate Parts: OEM-Quality Fit for Trucks & Pickups

When a tailgate takes a hit — whether from a fender-bender, years of hard use, or simple wear and tear — getting the right replacement matters. Sherman Parts, the Michigan-based body parts specialist, brings its decades of precision sheet-metal experience directly to the tailgate category, offering truck owners a reliable path back to factory-correct form and function.

Founded in 1981, Sherman has built its reputation around OEM-level fitment across a massive catalog. Operating from a 110,000-square-foot warehouse stocked with over 30,000 reproduction and replacement parts, Sherman covers vehicles dating from classic trucks all the way through current models — domestic and import alike. That breadth of fitment coverage is especially evident in their tailgate lineup, which spans popular platforms including Chevy/GMC C-K pickups, Ford F-Series trucks, and Toyota Tacoma pickups.

What Sherman Offers in the Tailgate Category

Sherman's tailgate product range addresses the two most common replacement needs for truck owners:

• Tailgate Shells & Assemblies — Full stamped-steel tailgate shells engineered to match OEM dimensions. Sherman's classic-truck shells, such as those for the 1977–1980 Chevrolet C/K pickup, are designed as direct drop-in replacements that restore the original body lines of the truck bed. Complete assemblies are also available for popular late-model trucks like the Ford F-150/F-250 Styleside (1997–2003) and Ford Super Duty (1999–2007), often supplied with hardware included.
• Tailgate Handles — Sherman produces replacement exterior tailgate handles for high-demand platforms including the Chevy C-K pickup (1988–2002) and Toyota Tacoma (1995–2004). These handles are designed to fit in the stock location with no modifications required, restoring both the look and operation of the original latch mechanism.

Why Sherman Stands Out

What sets Sherman apart in the tailgate space is the same philosophy that has driven the brand for over four decades: scrupulous attention to detail and a commitment to OEM-quality fitment. Sherman is recognized as a leader in OEM-quality replacement parts for collision-repair projects, with a well-earned reputation for quality and value that keeps both professional body shops and DIY enthusiasts coming back. Their tailgate handles, for example, are specifically engineered to fit in the stock location and install easily with no modifications — a detail that saves significant time during a repair.

Sherman's catalog approach — digitizing NOS (new-old-stock) parts and even entire unaccident vehicles to ensure accurate tooling — means that even hard-to-find tailgate applications receive the same careful attention as high-volume parts. For truck owners dealing with collision damage or simply trying to restore a classic pickup's rear end to showroom condition, Sherman's tailgate products represent a practical, proven solution from a brand that has been supplying the collision-repair and restoration world for generations.
