95 F-150 Can you get a locking gate? From a newer truck maybe?
What are my options?

 

I have never seen one, I think it would have to be a custom job.

 

That sucks. BTW Olds. W-30 NICE CAR!

 

Thanks I love to drive it

 

Someone does make a lock that would go on a 95 tailgate. It latches on over the handle so you cant open the tailgate without removing it first. I cant remember the name of the company, but if you call around to some truck accessory shops i'm sure they can tell you who it is, or get one for you.

 

I just checked out your sweetquads.com website and it seems pretty cool. I went ahead and registered and bookmarked it. I'll tell my buddies about it and see if we can help get the word out.

P.S. I have a 400EX and a Banshee

 

Most hard tonneau covers and many caps extend down over the top of the tailgate so that when they are locked you cannot open the gate.

 

I've got one on my truck, I got it from Pep-Boys for about $20 and it replaces the handle. I bought it so no one and rip off my tails.


I just painted it this weekend to match the truck paint.

 

No way it could be that easy, how bout a close up pic?

 

Believe me now?

 

What do you think of it? easy to install? worth the money?
Thanks for the other pictures BTW.

 

Very easy to install, just remove the access panel on the inside of the tailgate and 2 bolts onthe old handle is off, the new locking one installs just like the stock one.

Worth the money, yes since the taillights were $150 and the lock was only $20, spending $20 is a lot cheaper the spending $100-$150 on new tails if they get stolen.

 

Sprocket why does it look like the bed cap on your tailgate is warping?

 

Not sure, it's still on there fine and straight as can be, maybe just the angle of the pic or the crappy camera, same reason why my billet grill look's all mangled when I take pic's with this camera.

 

Well, i got my lock put in today, took about 15Min. (10 min. just to find a damn torx bit.
I was hoping for a better kind of lock, kinda like the new trucks come with, but i got what i expected for the $30. I dont really like the idea that i cant leave it unlocked with out the key being left in or having the handle stickout like that, but overall it will work fine.
Here are the pix.




BTW Thanks to SPROCKET_X for the heads up on this.
