Hey guys,

Great to find another Bronco site! I have a 78 Bronco that has constant tailgate latch problems. I have found 2 sets of latches at wrecking yards over the last 18 months, and lo and behold, one of them is screwing up again! I am wondering if anyone out there knows if latches from the early 80's tailgate will fit into my 78 gate. There's nothing else wrong with my gate, so I don't want to replace it. I'm just sick of having to scrounge latches for 78/79's when there are so many of the later latches available.

HELP!
