1982 C10 tailgate rod clips
« on: November 15, 2017, 06:19:08 AM »
Does anyone have a link or part number for the clips that hold the rods in the tailgate latch on an 82 C10?

I picked up some plastic ones at Advance Auto but they did not work. The clips would not fit in the latch handle hole and allow the rod to fit in the clip. I tried pushing it pretty hard and the rod would simply not snap in the clip.

Mine were broken and gone so I do not have anything to compare against.

I was planning to remove mine and repair as necessary and probably need these myself. Found this

May be what you need, not for sure.

Thanks for the responses.

Yes, I meant the handle and not the latches and the barrel clips are what I need as I tried the plastic one and it is too big to go through the hole and accept the rod.

I will get the kit ordered from Ebay now.

Thanks again!
