Tailgate help for a '65 Chevy Fleetside
Any recomendations out there for a latch system for my tailgate? I am not using the stock chains. I would like something that looks good yet is effective in keeping the tailgate closed. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Re: Tailgate help for a '65 Chevy Fleetside
We have this available from Pro's Pick for $185. This excerpt is right from their site: Hidden Latch Kits feature small stainless steel brackets that attach to the inside of the tailgate, spring loaded catches that install in the bedside (hidden by the stake pocket posts) also made of stainless and nylon, and nylon woven check straps with stainless buckles that hold the tailgate in a horizontal position. The kit includes all fasteners, hardware, and complete instructions
