Description
These tailgate cables replace the old metal straps on a 1967–1972 Ford truck. The cable is a direct replacement, and the rattle, the rust and the flaking paint go with the strap.
If the tailgate straps on your 1967-72 Ford truck rattle, have rusted or are shedding paint, these cables are a direct swap for the factory metal straps. All the mounting hardware you need comes with them, so the change is about a five-minute job.
Features
- Direct replacement for the factory metal tailgate strap.
- Comes with all necessary mounting hardware.
- Sold as a pair
They are sold as a pair, one for each side of the tailgate, so a single order handles the whole job. Swapping to cables also gets rid of the painted metal strap, so there is no more flaking finish to touch up.
These cables are a practical upgrade for anyone driving or restoring a 1967-72 Ford truck. Look through our tailgate upgrades and Ford truck parts sections for more parts made for these trucks.

Installation
A direct replacement that goes on in about five minutes.
The cables come with all the mounting hardware. The slotted end may need slight filing, since slot widths vary a little from gate to gate.
The video below shows the install on a Chevy C10. The process on a 67-72 Ford is the same.

Tailgate Cables - 67-72 Ford Truck
Common questions
Is trimming or drilling needed?
No. The cables are a direct replacement for the factory metal straps and come with all the mounting hardware. Slot widths vary a little from gate to gate, so the slotted end may need slight filing to drop in.
How long does it take to install?
About five minutes.
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1967–1972 Ford F100, F250 and F350. The full year, make and model list is in the Truck Compatibility tab on this page. If your truck has been modified, or you are between two of the year ranges we list, send us the year, make and model and we will confirm the fit before you order rather than after.
How long before it ships?
It is a stock item and generally ships within 1-3 business days. Carrier transit time is on top of that, and larger orders can arrive in more than one box on different days.
What if it is not right for the truck?
You have 30 days from delivery to request a return. The part needs to come back new, uninstalled and in its original packaging - once a part has been trimmed or welded it cannot go back. Return shipping is at your cost, and we ask that returns come by USPS. Made-to-order, sale and clearance items are final sale. The full terms are on our returns page.
Can I install this myself?
It is designed for an at-home install. Read the fitment notes and the Installation tab on this page before you start for anything that needs drilling, trimming or welding, and where an installation guide or video exists for the part it is linked there.
