Re: Tailgate handle ideas?

I don't know how to post a video and don't have a YouTube account to do so but I can make a video of it working and send it to someone who can post it. If you would like to do that pm me your email and I'll make one and send it.

Re: Tailgate handle ideas?

Very Nice. I know you said the chevy latch was to thick to fit in from the outside. so probably won't work when installed inside either?

No the 60-66 tailgates are to thin for the 75 c10 handle. When I tried putting it in from front the tailgate would have to be a little over 1/4 inch wider to work.

Re: Tailgate handle ideas?

Did you have to notch the bed cap (the panel that the tail lights go into), or was it already like that.
