Tailgate Latch
« on: January 18, 2010, 10:55:20 pm »
I'm thinking of relocating my latch to the inside of the tailgate.  Does anyone know if there is a kit for doing it?

I used the kit from Mar-K and it was very nice. I didn't see it on here but you can email Chris if he has them. You can see the kit I used here http://forum.73-87chevytrucks.com/smforum/index.php?topic=7334.90 My only suggestion is to drill the holes for the screws 2 sizes smaller than they recommend.

Unfortunately I don't.  Mar-K wasn't taking any new vendors last I talked to them but if the did, I would sell their parts.
