Glad I did them, cost like $30 but that was in the late 80's. Go for it!! Next time around on my truck though, they are gone!!! :twisted:

I had the thought of ditching them too. Also would like to try hinging the gate on the side if I get rid of the latches.

you can do that to get rid of the chunky look on the out side me and my buddies did that to a datsun and it looked hella slick with the tail gate filled in. it not all that hard you just weld the latch post on the inside of the bed and then redrill the hole on the inside of the taill gate and then fill the old holes with what ever its your choice and then sit back and drink a beer and look at what you did. thats a big thing with the mini trucks.

Tilted, your chrome latches look nice by the way. But now Im torn. Ive welded the side markers, gas filler, emblem, antenna, and tail light holes shut. If I leave the latches on, Im affraid they will look out of place. Didnt think about it until I looked at your pic. My rod tail lights are gonna be in the roll pan so Im thinkin the chrome up top will just not look right. Man, I just keep makin more work for myself.

You shaved everything else, you should ditch the latches too!! Will look so much cleaner, when I built my truck, I was fresh out of high school and could only do a little at a time, and had to drive the truck everyday. Went gateless while the handles were being chromed.
DUMP EM DUDE!!!! 8)
