Thanks for the replies and ideas.

If this were a later model truck, '93 - up I guess, there are lots of aftermarket options, Clamp-type locks, handle locks, etc, but for '92 and earlier, there isn't much offered on the after-market.

I don't have a Snug Top, bed cover or camper shell at this point. It's just an open bed for now, so it's not to secure anything in the bed.

I'm just looking to discourage Tailgate Thieves and opportunists looking for a quick grab and sell at swap meet types.

If I park the truck out on the street at night, I don't want to come back in the morning and find my tailgate is missing.
