I'm trying to reassemble the hood latch assembly on my half-ton but haven't been able to find a good schematic of what the assembled system should look like. I have little idea of what it should look like since several pieces were missing when I got the truck. I'm also trying to track down replacements. Does anyone know where I could get a schematic or picture of how the main latch (pull ring) attaches to the latch mechanism on the upper radiator shroud that would help me? This would help me with questions like - is there a spring that holds the pull ring in position as the hood closes? Also, where does the auxiliary latch attach - on the shroud or grill nose piece? I have a rectangular hole at the front of the screw flange of the shroud but the underside of the shroud and the back side of the nose are smooth with no indication of how the latch would be attached. I found a NOS auxiliary latch at Joblot, but can't find where/how it attaches. Finally, does anyone know where I can find a spare latch mech (the L-shaped bracket with rollers on the radiator shroud that attaches with 2 screws) or the auxilliary latch?
