About Tailgate Parts & Upgrades
Tailgate parts wear out faster than almost anything else on a classic truck, because the gate carries its own weight on two small trunnions and two cables every time it opens. This collection covers every tailgate upgrade LS Fabrication makes for Chevy, GMC and Ford trucks from 1947 through the mid 2000s — struts, trunnions, latches, cables, handles and billet letters.
Stop the slam
Gate Saver tailgate shocks slow the drop so the gate lowers under control. Fitments run 1967-72 C10, 1973-87 Squarebody, 1988-98 OBS, 1982-2004 S10 and 1999-2006 NBS, plus a 1967-87 cable and strut combo. The same idea works at the front of the truck: a gas hood strut kit replaces the factory hood springs on 1999-2006 NBS Chevy trucks.
