[More Info]
Direct-fit hood latch assembly engineered for 1977–1980 Chevy and GMC pickup trucks. This heavy-gauge steel latch secures the hood in the closed position, restoring reliable operation and factory-style safety for older trucks. Designed as a bolt-on replacement, it offers corrosion-resistant finish, durable construction, and straightforward installation to replace worn, bent, or missing latches. Note: For trucks without the T44 hood release cable option.
Features:
  • Fits 1977–1980 Chevy and GMC truck models (direct replacement for OE latch assemblies).
  • Heavy-gauge steel construction for long-lasting strength and crash-resistant performance.
  • Protective finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance under the hood.
  • Direct bolt-on design for easy replacement and factory-style alignment.
  • Restores secure hood retention and reduces hood vibration or rattling.
  • For trucks without the T44 hood release cable option.
Installation / Application:
  • Difficulty: 2/5
  • Estimated time: 30-60 minutes
Suggested Tools:
  • Socket set (common sizes for truck hardware)
  • Ratchet and extensions
  • Screwdrivers (flat and Phillips)
  • Pliers
  • Penetrating oil (if removing rusted fasteners)
  • Rust inhibitor or grease
  • Torque wrench (optional)
  • Safety glasses
Instructions:
  1. Park vehicle on level ground, engage parking brake, and prop the hood open securely with a support or helper.
  2. Inspect the existing latch area and note how the hood release cable attaches. Since this product does not include a release cable, plan to reuse the original cable or have a replacement cable ready.
  3. Apply penetrating oil to old fasteners if necessary. Remove bolts or screws securing the old latch and detach the hood release cable or clip from the latch mechanism.
  4. Clean mating surfaces and remove rust or debris. Lightly lubricate pivot points and contact areas on the hood and latch with appropriate grease.
  5. Position the new latch assembly in place and hand-thread the mounting fasteners to ensure alignment.
  6. Tighten mounting bolts snugly using the socket set. If a torque spec is available for your truck, tighten to manufacturer recommendations; otherwise ensure bolts are securely fastened without over-torquing.
  7. Reconnect the hood release cable to the new latch (reuse original cable or install a separately purchased cable). Adjust cable tension and latch position so the hood closes and releases smoothly.
  8. Lower the hood slowly to check alignment and latch engagement. Make small adjustments to latch position as needed to ensure a firm, even closure with no binding.
  9. Test the hood release multiple times from the interior and exterior to confirm reliable operation. Re-check fastener tightness after an initial test drive.
