Re: Loosenutz's 66 SWB BBW LM4 Build

Here's how I did the tailgate latches. I put them much lower than most people so they would line up with the indentations that are already in the bedsides. I did this becasue the thought of someone closing the tailgate with the latches extended and slamming them into the new paint in the future made me shudder. I then made some Delrin plastic inserts to fill that location in the bedside (white becasue the truck will eventually be white). It has lead-ins so the tailgate will close even with the latches extended. Time to weld up all the unused holes!!
