Hi all, I've slowly been bringing an '87 v20 suburban back to life and this site has been an amazing resource in doing so. Still, I'm running into a few specifics that I'd appreciate any input on:
I just replaced the completely rusted out tailpan and with the tailgate now properly re-aligned I have discovered that the passenger side latch won't close. I haven't been able to track a replacement down at a local junkyard, can't find one on eBay, nor does it seem anyone makes a direct replacement. So my questions are 1) is this latch the same unit as those in the doors? or 2) any leads on where I could find an [ideally] new assembly?
Thank you!
