Description
These tailgate cables replace the old metal straps on a 1967–1972 Chevrolet or GMC truck. The cable is a direct replacement, and the rattle, the rust and the flaking paint go with the strap.
The factory metal straps on a 1967-72 Chevy and GMC truck hold the tailgate when it is open, so a rattling or rusted strap shows every time you drop the gate. These cables are a direct replacement, and the swap takes about five minutes.
Features
- Direct replacement for the factory metal tailgate strap.
- Comes with all necessary mounting hardware.
- Sold as a pair
All the mounting hardware you need is included, so there is nothing extra to track down before you start. They come as a pair, covering both sides of the tailgate in a single order.
They suit a C10 or other 1967-72 GMC and Chevy pickup that sees regular use, as well as a restoration where you want the bed area cleaned up. Browse our tailgate upgrades for more parts made for these trucks.

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 Chevy and GMC Blazer, C10, C20, C30, Jimmy, K10 and others. 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.
