Does anyone know of a place to get the latches and hinges for the end gate.
Thanks

Half Ton Fun in NJ - Bob Selzam has some NOS rack corner brackets.

I am in the process of working with a local company to cut out gate hinge blanks which need a little forming and welding. Hopefully soon I will have a hinge prototype to share with everyone.

FYI - The parts shown in the center are stake rack connectors. These are not latches or hinges. For original rack, the rear stake racks would have flat connectors between the two racks which allow the left rack to be removed first. The corner connectors would be left and right handed. The rear racks should be removable before removing the side-rear rack.

Many places sell these connectors (like a local hardware store in my town). They are not exactly the same as original (but very close).
