Tailgate Saver Shock (Strut) – 73-87 GMC Chevy Squarebody Truck
LS Fabrications "Gate Saver" or Tailgate Assist Shock/Strut 1973-1987 GMC Chevy Truck adds a little bit of modern luxury to your classic Squarebody truck.
The LS Fab "Gate Saver" slows the tailgate opening action allowing your tailgate to open freely after unlatching. You can now have a tailgate that opens, closes and latches like a brand new Chevy pickup.
Our Tailgate Assist Shock/Strut 1973-1987 GMC Chevy Truck kit includes:
- ✅ The dampener
- ✅ 2x balls studs
- ✅ LS Fab Stainless Support Bracket
- ✅ Jam nut for an easy install.
- ✅ Works with tailgate cables on both sides of the tailgate
*Minor Trimming of the tailgate and an M8 tap are required for install*
**Removing your factory link arm will lessen the ability of your tailgate to handle a lot of weight.**
NOTE: Box liners, tailgate caps, excessive body work, and / or anything adding weight to tailgate will affect the rate of fall on tailgate.

parts will make old truck tailgate, work like a later model truck tailgate, thanks
Thanks so much for the 5 star review!
Works well. Easy to install. The device to install the anchor was confusing as it was not seen in the video but I figured it out after I drilled the hole a bit to large.
I Also bought the cables so I had support on both sides and they where also easy to install and add a nice touch.
