Hood Safety Catch

I am in need of a hood safety catch or at least the part# for it. Probably a question for Number Dummy. It is for a 66 F100. Or if anyone has an extra they are willing to part with send me a PM.


Thanks

Bill T.

I probably have one socked away somewhere if you can't find one close to you.

I know it won't help but I have been wanting to convert to a cable release anyways.

To the best of my knowledge; the safety latch is a reproductive part; check the sponsor web sites and I'm sure they have them; if John can't find one stock away. I also probably have one I'll check my inventory and let you know. I purchase one from a company in Kansas acouple of years ago.

I went to the garage and found a safety latch; alittle different than mine on my 65 model. It mounts the same and the only difference is it has a two hook type lever. I'll try and post a picture for you tomorrow, If you want it its yours for shipping cost.
PM me after you see if you want it.

Ford confusion regarding F100/350 hood safety catches.

1961/65 before serial #648,001 = C1TZ-16892-A

1965 after serial number #648,001 = C5TZ-16892-A

1966 = C1TZ-16892-A

I'm currently at work and probably thake acouple of days befor I get a chance to take a pic. I'm not the best at computers & digitial photo stuff.

Thanks for the update Mitch. I have found an NOS hood safety catch today, and have purchased it. Thank you very much for your efforts they are very much appreciated. I know what you mean some of the picture posting stuff can be challenging at times.

Thanks again

Bill T.
