In this video Chris Lange from LS Fabrication installs the Tre5 Customs 1967-72 C10 Tailgate latch kit. This Latch kit can be purchased from LS Fabrication. ls-fab.com/67-...
I wanted to come back to this comment. I installed a factory set of latches in a 72 today and it doesn't work that great. Swapped it out for another Tre 5 kit. Worth every penny in my opinion.
Interesting mechanism but I am waiting for electric open kit, after I cut, spread, weld the tail light pocket as my GM Auth tail gate is 3/16” thicker on the top 8” of the passenger side. It looks like it’s not fully shut! Yeah, more unnecessary work. It is almost as fun as having a police helicopter fly over you house at 3AM every night for two years. But, I am trying hard to develop a “Home Root Canal” DIY kit. It is fun too! DK, ASE Master Tech since 78, retired
I was ready to order a kit until I saw the price tag...😳😳😳...my old latches worked fine ever since my dad bought the truck new in 1969...I'll stick with those...looks nice though...but not that nice...
It also completely drowned out the sounds of the tailgate latches latching & releasing...I'd actually prefer to hear that, & the tools & shop sounds than any music at all...

Nice video
I will definitely get these.
Thank you
Nice product. Very detailed video. I’m sure I’ll be buying from you in the near future
That is really nice, but for $400 I’ll just stick to what’s always worked.

Great Video - But I’m Ok with the Original tail gate latches. ( Stronger )
I don’t Trust Cable. (Weak)

Sounds good.. Not for everyone.
Exactly correct...it's for people with money to burn...I don't even have money to singe, let alone set proper fire to...
I would have liked to have heard how it shuts but the music wouldn't let me !!
Click..sometimes a Click Click.😅

Synthesized music sucks. Drum machines have no soul.
What would you like to hear?
Country music.
