Our new tailgate cables replace your old noisy metal tailgate straps on your classic truck. This direct replacement cable is an easy 5-minute install — no more rattles, rust, or paint flaking off.
Please measure your current strap length to verify no one has swapped the tailgate, latches, or striker plates with ones from a different year.
- ✅ 1973-75 is 15.5" from center of eyelet to center of slotted pin on tailgate
- ✅ 1976-87 is 16" from center of eyelet to center of slotted pin on tailgate
Cables come with all necessary mounting hardware.
- ✅ If you're using our Gen 1 Gate Saver (bigger diameter: 18.3mm), 1 cable is needed (passenger side).
- ✅ If using our Gen 2 Gate Saver (smaller diameter: 15.3mm), 2 cables can be used (one on each side of your tailgate).
May require slight filing on the slotted end due to slight variances in slot width.
