tailgate hinge length - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all I am looking for the length of the hinge. I was going to try to pickup some cables today and forgot to get the length last night at the house. The local autozone has them in the "help" section.
Thanks
Dave

Theres a thread in the FAQ section that converts to cable. Ford ranger I think. He lists the ford part number. Try that, it may help you in the right direction.

yea I found that but it didnt give a length. I asked for this part and they said it is special order. Then I found these generic ones they are different lengths. I will probably just wait till over the weekend and figure what I need.
