I had put a sport grille on my 1995 and the latch was the same. 8 did you put a 99-01 grille or a 98-down grill? 99+ use a different latch rod because the 99+ sport grill is 2" bigger. (and you need a 99+ sport bumper to fit the bigger grille as well)

i looked online. no luck. ill call my dealer tomorrow but doubtful. so many of these trucks were built but finding anything sport is amazingly hard to find. i can modify mine if i have to. still searching though. what i will probably do is buy a whole truck and just part it. After the bankruptcy when Old Carco took over almost all the old "toxic" assets were scrapped. NOS parts for our '93's and '01 were getting next to impossible to find. Finding NOS Studebaker parts is a breeze by comparison.

It was just for reference not to buy one. The "sport" package was just painted bumpers/grill, Seems some things changed since the earlier ones. If you can find a "sport" in the same configuration as yours it should be bolt it. You can use the previous link to check other years. Look on craigs list for parts/parting out trucks or ebay. Could look on car-part.com to look for ones in local junk yards. https://www.car-part.com/
