Tailgate latch
Anyone aware of a kit that you can use for a tailgate late like this. Wasn't to get from the old chain and latch set up they used to have.

http://www.classicparts.com/1941-87-.../#.U-HIbZPn8dU I don't know who sells the one with the metal knob. I remember someone on this site built his own also. |

Re: Tailgate latch
www.mar-k.com has that exact latch, installed on my bed when they built it.

Re: Tailgate latch
I got mine online from CCP, I can't remember if the knob is metal or plastic. Be advised they are designed for stepside beds, if you have a fleetside you will need to extend the bed jamb for it to work. I have detail in my build thread.
