Re: 67-72 tailgate pics needed

Yes sir just looking at the latch I would asume that the taper would hit the latch reciptical first. Biut if you look at the latch it has two corners cut off and only bolts to the gate one way. The problem is that one of my latches is opposite of the other, which i find strange. The rods look the same. With that said I pulled these from an original doner gateband sent them to paint. My thought was that some where down the road someone fooled with the latch. But i looked at the latch and I dont see an easy way to take it appart and remove it. Furthermore I found and image on the net of a new replacement that is the same direction. This made me think it was a detail i took for granted and over looked! So i wanted pics of others to seebif that was the case!
