I have a custom made tonnue cover that I am putting on my L. It resembles a fiberglass cover, but its actual abs plastic. My question is...I haven't made a latch system yet. Do you guys think a tailgate latch assembly would work? I haven't seen the insides of a late model tail gate, but I'm thinking with the smooth handle (frenched into the cover) and some custom trickery on the latches, it would work. Any thoughts????

 

Any help??

 

Check my gallery. I have pics of the inside locking mechanism on the tailgate of our late model F150's. I think you could get it to work with a little bit of modification. Fact is the lock bars pull laterally kind of like the lock on a camper shell you would just need to add some type of latch system that would work.

 

somebody posted a link to a website that had all kinds of bedcover parts like latches, hinges, etc.. but i dunno where it is..
