I just converted the hood latch on my '72 to make it so the hood can only be opened from inside the truck.....here's the link to my post on the FAQ board:

Hey Lucas, would it be possible to get a closer pic of how you drilled and hooked up to the latch? Thanks!

Sure, but it will have to wait to tomorrow. Just drill a hole about halfway up the hood catch, install a screw, wrap the wire around the screw and tighten it down. I will take the pic tomorrow and post it on the thread on the FAQ board.
