PA I can rebuild your hatch latches - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1rippen6** · 01-08-2020, 11:43 PM

I've accumulated enough parts to rebuild a few hatch latches. I can replace the spring, lever or both. I also have the latch release lever. I drill the crimped end off the pin and then put a spot of weld to hold the pin back in place. I've done about 6 sets with no complaints so far. I will try and find some pictures of completed units. 40 for ea. latch plus return shipping that also includes blasting the latch. Normally it will be a 1 day turnaround time.

Sorry for the bad pictures still trying to get my camera fixed on my phone.

**1rippen6** · 01-29-2020, 02:22 PM

I will also purchase broken hatch latches if you want to sell

Thanks, pictures are bad but I have my camera fixed now. I thought there would be a demand for this apparently not, LOL.

I might need this. I'll have to check the condition of my latches.

I'm going to need 2 sets of latches redone - mine are still attached to the trucks. What are the next steps? PM me for details. Thank you for offering this service.

Neither of my hatches close/latch and I have purchased new rods as well to replace the crusty ones.

Do you have any of the parts that hold the rods to the handle by chance? I think mine rusted away and now the rods won't stay connected to the handle mechanism.

PM sent, let me know if you have any other questions.

Awesome service that is offered here. I had two sets redone and installed one of the sets about a month ago. I had to text him after I got them installed to let him know this was the first time I have ever had a hatch that closed/latched like it should. Thanks again for providing this service for the group.

Awesome, that's for the feedback! I'm surprised more people aren't interested.

**Blazerowner** · 07-10-2020, 04:07 AM

I’m interested but I haven’t had time to start working on the hatch. Will be in touch when I get there.

Can you PM me an email address? I want to send you pictures of my latch and see if there is something I have that is not with the parts. I want to have my latch done.

Thanks,

Another happy customer here. I was ready to go the repop route before I stumbled on this thread. Dwayne made the whole process easy and stayed in communication on receiving the parts, pictures of his work, and when he shipped it out. Definitely recommend.
