Im ready to do the tailgate cable conversion. I have done a search and read over a few posts. There was talk about "TOFIC" doing a tec article but i cant find it. Does it exist?
Looking at the posts and pictures i see that there are a few different ways to go about it. I understand that im looking for cables from a 90's era F150, and i believe there 19" long.
Im unclear as to the best and easyest way to mount them. The first pic shows the cable being mounted to a tailgate latch bolt. The second looks like its mounted to the factory tailgate post. Will the 90's F150 cables work perfect with the factory tailgate support posts? (this is what i would prefer)
And where the cable mounts to the body......i know the factory tailgate supports have a pivoting bracket the attaches to the body with two bolts, but i have a new glass tub with no holes there yet. Would i have to fad up some sort of spacer between the cable and tub and then just drill the hole and bolt in place? The pics i have seen are unclear.
