'79 J10 Hood Latch

Post by jeepman6 »

Will removing the 4 bolts in the hood allow the 2 latches and crossbar to come off as a unit?

If you mean the 4 bolts that attach the latch/bar assembly to the hood, yes, the bar and 2 latches come off as a unit.

Thanks Twisted, anyone got an extra one. I'd like to make my '79 have an inside latch like later models.
