Tailgate pivot bolt bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SMR · 09-25-2014, 01:07 AM

Hello ..does anyone know where I can locate a set of the brackets that mount to the bed tailgate jam (two hole bracket) that the tailgate chain pivot bolt screws into. Also need the single hole bracket that mounts to the tailgate itself to attach chain when tailgate is in the down position.

any of the suppliers have them, they are called trunions. here they are at Classic Parts, bottom right, steps and fleets.

Thank you for responding. I looked at the website provided, but had no luck with locating the parts. I've attached pics of the parts I'm looking for.

I had the same issue finding those brackets and ended finding them on the classifieds here on the forum. Put a want to buy up and someone will respond there.

The trunions go much lower on the tailgate to pivot it.
