70 suburban tailgate

My tailgate is missing the support arms that hold the tail gate level. Does anyone know if there is another model chevy with the same arms that could be used?

Re: 70 suburban tailgate

Read this from an older thread of a member converting to gas struts

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=220511

He sourced the tailgate straps on ebay:

Hope this helps!

Re: 70 suburban tailgate

I gave up looking for original supports and made these work. Mostly plug and play but did have to tap new threads because mine were crusty:

Very happy with the result!
