What's the difference between a latch and a "closing device"? Do you mean a lock or maybe you mean the hinges? The latch is the latch and if it works properly your hood should close and latch.

Maybe these will help. Source's here for parts:

...and those are just a few places. Best of luck and post pictures! We love pictures, especially from fellow truckers from other countries.

Sandblasted and primed.
