page 75 of truck shop catalog
Not sure if that link will work

Re: 49 safety hood latch
 

Sorry. You mean the one looks like this? On the handle itself? I bought he one mentioned above. Came up on page 82?

Re: 49 safety hood latch
 

Found it! 47-06703 13.00 for the kit but that beats 65.

cant get that site to work . can you post a pic of it

Re: 49 safety hood latch
 

Site is a bit tricky and it took me a bit of time to figure it out.

Open the link https://issuu.com/truckandcarshop/docs/ts_47-59_13_web
then when the cover page of the catalog opens up swing your curser across the catalog an a slide bar should show up at the bottom with 1/158 on it on the left side. Slide the red dot to the right until page 75 or close enough to flip pages shows up. You can expand the page and then enlarge it again.

See if that works.

that spring looks different than the one in the complete latch assembly but I guess it will work thanks

Re: 49 safety hood latch

Re: 49 safety hood latch

Re: 49 safety hood latch
