Check Straps 21"

Two straps. One pair of buckles. Your paint stays where you put it. Tailgate chains have one job and two habits. They hold the gate; and they swing into the bedside every time the truck moves. On a painted bed the result is a neat arc of chips exactly where everyone looks. Check straps are woven nylon with stainless steel buckles. They carry the gate and they do not ring; do not swing and do not cut. All the stainless hardware and the instructions come in the kit. They come in pairs because a tailgate needs both sides doing equal work. A single strap pulls the gate out of square and puts the load on one hinge. 21 inch is the published length for 1954-87 Chevy and 1938-72 Ford. One pound in the box and an afternoon of your time.

  • The chipping stops - nylon against a bedside does not do what a swinging chain link does.
  • Stainless buckles and hardware - nothing in the kit starts a rust streak down a finished bed.
  • Sold as a pair - both sides carry equal load so the gate stays square on its hinges.
  • Quiet gate - no chain ring over every expansion joint on the highway.
  • Instructions included - the layout is done for you rather than guessed at with a tape measure.
  • Wide coverage - published for 1954-87 Chevy and 1938-72 Ford on one part number.
