Re: 75 Dually build
Worked on the tailgate straps tonight. I bought these cable straps off eBay for $10 delivered. So for $5 a side I could not pass it up. The fab was really easy. Simply notch the lower part so it would slip over the bottom bolt that the old strap attached to. Then cut the top of the old strap and weld a 5/16" bolt to it, clean it all up and snap in the new cable straps. It maybe took me 10 minutes a side if that.
I know your going to ask why did I change. Simple the old straps were not long enough. Must have been a model year issue, but they simply were not the right length. So I saw the cable straps on my wife's GMC and figured it would be an easy swap, and it was.
Stay tuned!
