I have a 1998 5.2l Laramie slt the tailgate cables were rusted in half. went to parts store and the size was too short the tailgate sat at an angle upward. Went to a junk yard and found some off the same style truck and those are too short also. is there a special size needed or something.

Take a picture of the area please. It sounds like your cable points have been moved.

^yes. Seems like your cable attach point on the bed is too high.
