Dendo, Four years ago on this site I floated an idea and made the attached YouTube video. Watch it, it speaks for itself. I called it the Tailgate Chain Eliminator and as an experiment made 6 of them for the 48-53 tailgate (49.75” wide) and 6 of them for the 54-87 tailgate (50.75” wide). From the YouTube video I found there was a market for the idea but not at a price-point at which I could make a reasonable profit. I contacted some vendors about the idea but they didn’t have any interest. I have 3 units left for the 48-53 tailgate.



Good luck, Dave
