Thank you for posting those pictures. I've been trying to decide whether to jump into converting my latches now, before I paint everything, or waiting so I can get the truck finished and drive it.

I'm convinced now that I should do it before painting.

I found some kits on e-bay for what seem to be reasonable prices- $50 for two latches, strikers and the weld in install kits.
