Is there a KEY LOCK tail gate for these trucks ?
I'm wanting to install a bed cover and want a lockable tail gate.
Anything out there or home made devices ? 1968 C10 Fleetside . |

Dunno about a tailgate lock but since a soft cover offers little security, are you going with a hard (fiberglass) tonneau?
The lip usually extends down over the top of the tailgate, and with the tonneau locked, the tailgate can't be opened. Just a thought. |

An innovative person that knew how to weld could probably make something work.
*What I plan to do on my stepside is just put padlocks through one or both of my tailgate chains. |

I figure it the same as Stocker. Why would you need a locking handle on the tailgate? I've had my '95 Suburban for about 2 1/2 years and it never occurred to me the tailgate even has a locking handle. You have to pop the hatch inside to open that to open the tailgate. I think when you use the key in the tailgate it pops the hatch to allow the tailgate to open. It may not actuate a lock at all.

Get one of the handle relocator kits, and have the handle on the inside.

I suppose I could fiqure out how to lock the cover to the tailgate.
The reason I was looking to lock the tailgate independent from cover so I could access bed without unlocking and lifting cover unlatch gate etc etc. There are devices avaiable for newer trucks. |

There's a tailgate lock for newer Toyota trucks (probably may others but I only know about the Toyota ones) called Pop-N-Lock or something like that. Quite a few buyers have been less than satisfied with them. |

There is a way to do it. Mine will not open even with a crow bar.
Lets see if you can figure this one out. Its pretty simple my man... |

Ok, I just did not have a picture for you. As I said real simple, a tap and nice stainless bolt is all that is needed.
There is now way if I put 2 of these in that anyone could break into this with a nice locking canopy or tonneau cover with out going through some major effort. I am in the process of figuring out a theft deterant system that would be equally as difficult to get through. All Ole Skool!:chevy: |
