79 d150 hoodlatch

Were the 79 trucks cable open only or was there a manual latch by the grill?

All my 79's had the inside release, as well as the secondary right above the grill on hood.

Thanks!

I have two 1980 4x4's and an 8o stepside that have the same style hood, latch and grill as 79 and they are all on the outside.

They have either.

Currently made out of unubtainium.

A van is close but 180 degrees wrong.

I'll see what I have. Do you need all of it or just what's at the core support?

Just the piece on the radiator support.

I'll check tomorrow. I have atleast 4-6 79-80 radio supports plus what's on my trucks

Are you wanting manual or cable style? Not sure what's diff between them

Manual is best!

I know I have one than.

Here are some pictures of the outside latch on my 80 Stepside.

I think they only made this style latch for 79-80 (I could be wrong) All these parts are getting harder to find as the years go by.

Here's a better look at one off the truck.

Thanks for the picture!

Got about 4-6 of them
