Did some digging on other threads but didn’t find Much info. On my 67 I have had the chrome trim that fits over the tail gate latch in the glove box the 25 years I have owned it. I’m looking into getting the truck painted and I wanted to reinstall all the original trim. I put the rear chrome back on but when it’s in place I can’t open the tail gate because it restricts the handle movement. I recall my uncle taking it off because of this. With the trim off the latch works fine. Before I do anything crazy I wanted to see if anyone had come up with a simple adjustment? It looks like I would have to knock almost 1/4” off the trim to clear the space needed. The latch looks to be bent a small amount so I wanted to try and straiten that out first.
