Re: Hood latch reliability?
Ah the yard sale 1000 piece puzzle that may be missing a piece or two.
Good on finding the original latch in the mix of parts.
Can't blame you on thinking of running a latch that is operated from the inside of the truck though. I'd like to do the same on my 48 this time around. I've never had anything stolen from under the hood in all the time I owned it but have come back to the truck and found the hood popped open and open and somewhat closed but not closed once when someone decided to look under the hood in a parking lot.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
