stepside hidden tailgate latches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Wondering if anyone's running a pair of these, I've seen them in the catalogs and thought they'd be a good way to get rid of the chains... here's a link to an installation... just wondering if they work ok, or if they're junk.

Check in with Putter. He did a set of those on his truck. I think he used Nissan Hardbody hinges/braces also. I saw it in action about three or four weeks ago. I worked nicely!

Here is the way I have mine...and yes, they are Nissan hardbody hangers...(it's on the way to being all one color, too)

Hey Putter, if I come over can you help me install some of those also?
