Cut and flipped and rewelded RH latch to make LH latch for Tailgate.
Followed a thread on MUD since LH is no longer available.
Very impressive Craig. Does the green top mean a complete color change? I might have one of those hinges if you need it. And what is the advantage of the Volvo wiper motor (intermittent operation????) and how much trouble is going to it to replace stock?

Gary,
Going to go back to the original 532 mustard. I bought the top for my other one I never finished, so will use it here. Eventually I will get back to the other one...once I have one to drive again. The tailgate latch is available for the right hand side but the left hand side is discontinued.
The volvo wiper is suppose to be stronger...I believe you need to shorten the arm with the ball based on reading and putting toyota ball on it. I have seen it once or twice on mud. I want to add a third wiper for more coverage so thought this would be the time to experiment! Stay tuned!
I am waiting on turnbuckles for the canvas top then will remove that and start disassembly for some of the other projects.
I dropped of brake bucket and pedals and ebrake pieces and steering column pieces for power coat and power steering hoses to be made. I would love to be ready to paint by end of Feb.
