Tailgate Lock?

Anyone see a lock for the 73-80 tailgates? I have had them on my 91 and 2004 Chevy's. But never seen one for the 77. Any slick suggestions for making one? I suppose I could wire into the alarm with a spring trigger switch to scare people off. These can be taken off in about 30 seconds. Yikes!

Thanks,

LBJ

Re: Tailgate Lock?

Use a clamp on the portion that slides out on the tailgate ends. If they want it, they'll need tools!!! You can make a round clamp with ends for a small lock.
