ok I am tired and search isnt wanting to cooperate...wonder why....and Im not gonna fight it after being in 101/102* heat for a good part of the day...so Ill ask this, does anyone know of a way to convert a stock tailgate to a locking tailgate? Im looking for a topper (already put payment on it as winter is coming and I don't feel like shoveling snow out of the back) and I really dont want people taking crap from my truck either, so anyone know of an easy way to convert the tailgate to a locking tailgate with out having to modify the tailgate its self??

I thought worst case Ill get a pad lock type thing and put it inside the bed and just lock it that way, but id like more of a factory look to it...
