| Gate Keeper 88-98 Chevy / GMC Full Size Truck. A custom formed steel bracket that bolts right to the bed of your truck, or the tailgate itself (depending on the model,) preventing thieves from easily lifting the tailgate off the truck. Most tailgates are easily removed in less than 20 seconds, without the need for any tools. The Gate Keeper™ bolts on and prevents the easy removal of your tailgate.
The Gate Keeper™
bolts onto your truck and covers the pivot point so the tailgate
cannot be removed without proper tools.

Why steal tailgates?
Thieves learned long ago that tailgates are easy to sell. A trucks
tailgate is often the first thing to be damaged either in an accident
or through everyday use. When this happens, it is easy to find a
matching gate, without damage, on someone elses truck. To buy a
new tailgate through a dealer, the cost can easily add up to $1000
or more after painting, so if someone finds they can buy a nice
used one for $200, the incentive is there to not ask many questions.
Remember, even if you have
a locking handle on your gate, it must be locked to prevent someone
from stealing your tailgate. If your not sure if your handle will
always be locked, install a Gate Keeper™
as an added level of security to ensure you won't be a victim of
this expensive crime.
