Hello all,
My 66 had the tailgate and grill replaced with later OE parts. They're Wimbledon white, but under the tailgate latch it's green... no matter. When I located some OEM anti-theft latches i went looking for the dimples to indicate where to drill the holes, and at both top corners of my tailgate are these holes. they're exactly symmetrical on both sides, and judging from photographs and the shape of my anti-theft latches, these are not the holes where i would screw in the latches. What are these holes for? Once again, i appear to be very poor at searching threads. Tailgate screw holes, tailgate holes, holes in tailgate, screw holes in tailgate, The holes closest to the edge might be for the 66 version of the anti-theft latch, but i have the later latches that have the bump that would fit into the hollow portion of the tailgate stamping. But... they're holes in the tailgate, not dimples. Any guesses?
Very grateful for the help and expertise of this forum. thank you in advance and Happy Thanksgiving!
