Description
The Gate Saver slows your tailgate on the way down instead of letting it fall. With the smaller diameter version you no longer have to choose — you can run the saver and keep both LS Fab tailgate cables on a 1967–1987 Chevy or GMC truck.
Features
- Gives the tailgate a slower opening action and quiet cables, like a newer GM truck.
- No more rattles, rust or paint flaking off.
- Comes with all the necessary mounting hardware.
Choose your option
- 1967–72 cable/saver combo
- 1973–75 cable/saver combo
- 1976–80 cable/saver combo
- 1981–87 cable/saver combo
Fitment notes
Box liners, tailgate caps, excessive body work and anything else that adds weight to the tailgate will affect the rate of fall.

Tailgate Cable/Saver Combo - 67-87 GMC Chevy Truck
Common questions
How do I know it fits my truck?
This part is listed for 1967–1987 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.

Great kit. Definitely can tell a difference. Lowering the tailgate doesn’t sound like a warship sinking anymore. Already recommended yall to many of my truck friends.
