    Altman latches

    Just finished installing the Altman easy latch kit I ordered from Classic Parts. It was very easy to install. My doors don't move up any more when I close them and latch very smooth. I was worried about cutting out the doors but it was fairly simple.

    Another satisfied customer.......Like I said, one of the best kits on the market. Our shop is now a dealer and an official install shop.

    Latches

    I thought I would post some pics of the latches installed on the truck.

    Need OEM hood

    Does anyone now where I can get an OEM hood around Minnesota? The second hood I bought has been blasted and is warped. I'm not having good luck finding a solid hood.

    I have 2. Take your pick. Hell take both. On 1 the outside is awesome but the braces have some rust (not sure it its just surface or not). The other looks good too expect some fool filled the badge holes with bondo and its falling out.

    Will do. My hoods are at my in-laws place about an hour and a half north of here. I can make it up there in a week or so. I'll get in touch with you before then.
