Tool Storage Box Latch Question

[BlessedM715]

Hello fellow M715 Brethren!
I am the new owner of a 1967 M715. (4 days)
I love this Website!!! It is a wealth of restoration information!

I have a question on Tool storage box doors. Shouldnt they have some type of latch? My truck does not have any so im not sure exactly what I need?
I have a photo of one on a 1968 truck but Im not sure if it shows the correct latch for my truck
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hope this helps, it's just a little flip latch.

Hello Sac715,
Thanks a bunch!
That looks like the same one in the photo that I have!
Do you know anyone who sells them?
Thanks Again!

No one sells them. I was unable to find any via the wanted section, so I made my owe:

There are a few places around that might have some, like AB Linn on Ebay, but since I'm about 45 minutes from Vintage Power Wagons (Vintage M715) I get most of my things there. (Look for the VPW at the top of the page). Your best bet might be to see if someone on here has a spare they will send you.

If ya don't get it solved by Sat. (sorry going to Turkey rod run in Daytona tomorrow) I can take one off, scan it, measure the thickness, send you the info . You can probably make an exact duplicate yourself cheaper than it would cost to ship it . or I do have a couple of spares.
let me know if I can help

Thanks for everyones help on this!

jpsnblood,
Awesome!!
I hate to put you to all of the trouble of taking one off but if you
could and scan it and give me the dimensions that would bee cool, but
if you want to sell your spares i would be glad to pay you for them.
Just let me know what you want to do!
Thanks a million!

jpsnblood,
Thanks for taking the time to make the scan!
Everyone on this site is the best!
I would still like to purchase the two spares you have to save me a little
work and they will be originals! I will also be needing a vacuum fuel pump if you have one and the metal
vacuum lines. What else do you have?
Just let me know what I owe you for the latches and shipping and I will get it
in the mail to you. Just e-mqil me your mailing info and I will send you mine!
Thanks Again for everything!
