Does anyone sell a locking version of the vent window handles..??? Maybe there's another application that would work for our trucks...???

thanks for any info.

73-87 locking vent window handles can be used to replace original non-locking version.

LMC sells a lock for the vent windows. It's a nice, simple and cheap solution.

thanks for the info...

I want to keep the vent windows but the stock latches make it easy to break into the truck, which has happened to me a couple of times... had to do it myself as I recall, a butter knife did the trick.
