depends if you want it to be functional or not? they make sleeves for them. my buddy hooked his on another hook @ the bottom so they won`t swing. if you don`t want a chain just put a bolt in it or shave it up.

The best chain replacement kit I have seen is one by WOW Products @ www.wow-products.com

Thanks for the help. I like the boat latch also, That looks easy enough. Just drill a couple holes and your set.

I like the Mar-K kits. Not cheap ($405.00) but you get a new tailgate (your choice of flush smooth or Bowtie), caps for the bed sides, linkage/hardware and a internal handle. can't link directly to page. Go to Mar-K , then select tailgates, and then you'll see a bunch of different options. There is two in the list that say "with handle and latch mechanism" in the description. Click on one of them for a picture.
