i decided to try these hood latches for big rigs out on my tailgate, and they seem to work.

Re: new inside tailgate latches
I like! How much? And since they came from a truck stop it would be easy to find replacements.....

 What kind of cable link you thinking about? It seems like if a guy used some of the new cables it would all work.........with a little work. I got a '63 SWB that I'm wanting to shave the chains on. |

Re: new inside tailgate latches
i was thinking about cable but i am not sure of how well it will tuck back up inside when the tailgate closes. so I was going to attempt to make some out of flat bar and have them pivot. that will be a next week sometime project. you should put a pic of your truck up for all to see.
