| Picture of 55 lift hatch striker?
Anyone got a pic of a 55 tailgate striker? I have lots of reproduction 45LV door and lift hatch strikers. I have heard that they might be the same as a 55 striker with some slight grinding on the backside.

| They may not fit in between the body and the tailgate if not ground down. Only a guinea pig can tell me. Quote:

| Brett put the work in to send me pics so I'm sending him a pair to try out and thinks theyll work as is. They're gonna be $10 a pair as is. Brett said they may sell better if theyre cad plated? It'd drive the cost up. Whatcha think.

| Theyre en route Brett.
And kick Speicher any time he's standing in the corner with his back to you. It'll get messy if you don't.

| fwiw, depending on how thick these are, they might be able to be used on the door strikers too. that piece is removable on the stock strikers
