looking for locking hood latch
I found the latch itself on blue oval truck parts but I can't find the cable or the rest of the parts needed. It is for a 79 F100 that did not come with the locking hood latch from the factory. If someone has the parts or knows where I can buy them new it would be great. I have alot of money under the hood of my truck and need a way to keep people out of it.

Guitar_demon thanks for the links. I need it so people can't look and see what I have under the hood, also. Plus my jerk off friends opened my hood and switched my plug wires before when I wasn't home.

It's still available from Ford.
The same locking hood latch was used on 1973/79 F100/350's, 1978/79 Bronco's and 1975/91 Econolines.
In 1987, Ford changed the original hood locking latch part number from D8TZ-16700-B to E7UZ-16700-A > >
> > From FTE sponsor DIRECT FORD PARTS: Ford suggested retail price: $97.73 / FTE member net: $69.08.
However, the Econoline hood cable is too short for F Series trucks.
Junkyards: 1973/79 F100/350's and 1978/79 Bronco's used the same locking cable as was used on the 1975/80 Ford Granada/Mercury Monarch and 1977/79 Lincoln Versailles.
D5DZ-16914-A. Ford no longer supplies this cable.
