Britcon,
I just found a pic of the rear latch. That is what I have, so I am missing the front piece, or rather, both front pieces (left and right). I can't find a clear photo of those. Most of the pics are from the outside, and only show the ear that extends, and not much of that. A couple of clear digitals would certainly help.
[email protected] I have about 2 years on the frame off project. I've owned the truck since '61, and have had it in Mexico, Canada, DC, and New Orleans under it's own power. I commuted to work until about '87. but continued to use it until '94 when it was parked until now. It now has a fresh '58 235, and the cab is painted and mounted on the chassis. As we speak, I am fighting primer on the bed and front parts. All new to me, so the learning curve is steep, but it keeps me busy. Ah, but the question still remains...are the latches on the '40 the same as the latches on the '39? I don't know...yet.
Thanks,
Gary
