Anyone recognize this latch assembly?

[bmc69]

Was rummaging through some tubs full of misc EB parts I'd bought years ago and came across this latch assembly. I've never seen one before...anyone else recognize it?

Is it the Ranch Hand latch that goes on the pass. rear quarter?

I have never seen one up close so not sure....just spit balling...

That was the only guess I even came up with...but like you, I've never seen one up close.

Remote hood latch. This is what mine looks like from BC broncos

Wow....I think I can see how it could work as a remote hood latch....
Didn't really even consider that....sigh....

No latch on the Ranch Hand. The swing arm bolts to the bracket on the side. There is no need to easily swing the tire when in the Ranch Hand position.

Ha! Of course...I can see that now.

Well cool...might use that on the '76. Had to remove the factory latch on the '69 project to move the radiator forward. It has those crazy expensive pop-up latches from Duff instead..

Thanks again fellers.

Again I was late to the party. Remote latch is correct. I too have one. gets rid of all the big latch stuff in front of the radiator.

I bought one years ago when I thought I'd be almost done with the restoration. Now that I'm actually almost done I was wondering where people mount the pull handle for it. Anyone?

I welded that up so nobody would fall out.

I mounted mine by the emergency brake, Seemed pretty original to me.
