Wanted FOUND ! ‘67 FJ45 TAILGATE “HOOK” LATCHES

[groundeater]

Anybody have a pair of ‘67 FJ-45 tailgate “hook” latches to sell ? Not the handles themselves, but the pieces they hook into...

Probably have to fabricate a pair....anybody have a close-up picture of what they even look like ? It would sure help a lot.

if you don't find any, they should be fairly easy to make some out of some flat bar.

Just don’t know really what they looked like for sure....can you take a close up picture of yours on your truck ?

3 Puppies say thanks for volunteering to help me, I sure appreciate it. My B-in-law found my latches so my ordeal is over. For no more than what’s involved to fabricate them a guy ought to make a pile of ‘em to help out our fellow TLC maniacs !
