Anyone have a solution or vendor for tailgate torque/torsion rod for electric window tailgate on an 87 blazer. cant seem to find it via google. looks like there are two types. the one pictrue attached here like a big S shape. Pictured here i have connected both broken pieces together to look like one..... At least i am assuming it used to be one piece) and another that his shorter with hooks on the end.

I *think* you are looking at something else. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I'm only aware of one design of the torque rods. But your piece doesn't look like either piece I'm thinking of either...

Hopefully this link will work... https://www.autozone.com/znetrgs/re...00c152/80/04/c8/d9/large/0900c1528004c8d9.gif

Yours looks kind of like #53, which is basically a rod that stops the window from retracting past a certain point.

On most setups I'm aware of there are two of these, which are the torque rods that make it easier to lift the tailgate.

Just looking at the website, I don't see LMC listing either part, hopefully someone else makes what you need.
 
Well that makes sense i am not sure why i thought they went together. must be both of my pieces are just missing the raious hook end. Now i just got to find those on the web somewhere. thanks.
