bedside tool box latch

Post by Zorm »

does anyone have a good source for the latch, heck I'll even ben the bottom of a new one to the right couture. Found a few on Amazon, but they are more rectangle, ours is square, like 4"x4"

I got a generic latch off of evilbay that was the same size but straight. The factory Ford ones are angled/rounded at the bottom. I put the new one in a vice and with a little muscle I bent it to a match. Looks and works great.
