APPERFiT Tailgate Cable Strap Kit for 1992-2000 Chevy/GMC C/K Trucks — Driver & Passenger Cables with Bolts, OEM Fit

APPERFiT tailgate support cable strap with bolts is a direct-fit replacement kit designed to restore secure, factory-style support to the rear tailgate of 1992–2000 Chevrolet and GMC C/K trucks.

These new tailgate cables and mounting bolts are manufactured to match OEM dimensions and fitment for Chevrolet C1500/C2500/C3500 and K1500/K2500/K3500 models (1992–2000) and corresponding GMC Sierra trucks. The kit includes one driver-side cable, one passenger-side cable, and two cable bolts so you can replace both supports at once. Built from corrosion-resistant materials, this pair restores safe load support and the smooth opening angle of your tailgate after factory straps wear or fail.

How will this kit fix a drooping or unstable tailgate?

Worn or frayed tailgate cables lose strength and can let the tailgate hang unevenly or sag under load. Replacing both straps and the bolts re-establishes the correct support points and tension so the tailgate rests level and opens to the intended angle. This kit is designed for direct, bolt-on installation using original mounting locations.

• Includes driver and passenger cables plus two bolts for a complete swap.
• OEM-matching dimensions ensure correct geometry and angle.
• Corrosion-resistant finish resists road and weather exposure.
• Direct-fit for 1992–2000 Chevy and GMC C/K pickups—no modification required.

It covers common OEM reference numbers so you can match it to the part you’re replacing easily.

How durable are these replacement cables and bolts for daily use?

These replacement straps are built from materials chosen for strength and resistance to the elements that pickup trucks regularly face. The bolts are specified to match factory threads and head geometry to maintain a secure, low-profile attachment. While longevity depends on driving conditions and maintenance, the components are intended to restore reliable, everyday function.

• Robust cable construction resists fraying under routine loads.
• Bolts machined to OEM specifications for secure attachment.
• Finish helps limit corrosion from road salt and weather exposure.
• Backed by a 1-year warranty for manufacturing defects.
