Tailgate Latch

Post by roughneck »

I am trying to find a way to movve the tailgate latch to the inside of the tailgate. I plan on using sheet metal and covering the indentation and haing a smooth outer tailgate. I've tried the search option here, to find other posts about this, but it keeps saying search is unavailable. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Robert. :thup:

I think LMC or NPD has a kit for this..... Will save you money and time as the parts are designed to fit....

I believe it's LMC, but it runs around $100.00. If you get it make sure you scan any templates and take pics and measurements of all parts before you install it.
