It there any replacement rear window latch,

Or a latch from another vehicle I can make work?

Sorry for all the posts, I can only get to ot on weekends.
 
For those who come later, doorman is supposed to sell one that fits at most parts store, i ordered 1 of each.

I'll post back the part number, if i get one to work
 
The latches arrived, i should get to try them out next weekend, if they don't' work I'll get in touch with you
there is one non doorman, brand that looks alot like the hook end i have left.

Thanks,
 
Sorry it took so long(been fighting fuel issues)

Just put it in(like 10 min ago)

This is the one that fit in my 1980

DVL5 - CRL Replacement Metal Latch for Toyota Tacoma and Earlier Models Toyota Trucks

Amazon product ASIN B002CXS596

Be aware the screws are t-10 torx, its dark and i was trying to use a phillips ;)


Since it fits an 80 and a taco, it might fit them all.

NVM Reviews said no to fit an 85, i had an 84 and went and looked at it, and the screw holes are too close together. The 3 Doormans that I bought looks much closer, but since my 84 is a parts car, and the 85 has solid rear window), I'm probably not going to mess with it any time soon.

Here are the links to the Doorman ones (they are way cheaper, like $6 each) if someone else want to pick them up and try them on a 84+ truck, and reply back.
