    That's a sweet looking truck, Rick.
    I put this latch on the last two '40 Fords I built. I know yours isn't a '40, but I bet this latch will work. It's available from Rocky Hinge, but it's actually a VW/Audi part. I like it because it's compact, durable, has a integral secondary latch, and is easy to install (but you will also need a release cable kit). You can get it for about $65 directly from Rocky Hinge, or some speed shops sell the exact same thing for less money. I got mine from Minnesota Hot Rod Hardware for about $55.
