Fits: 1967–1972 Ford F-100 Trucks

The Altman Easy Hood Latch™ is a vehicle-specific, bolt-on hood latching system designed to replace the factory hood latch with a modern rotary claw mechanism.

This system is engineered as a direct upgrade for the original 1967–72 Ford hood latch, eliminating the bulky and outdated factory design while improving both function and appearance.

By adapting the proven Altman Easy Latch™ technology to the hood, this kit allows your hood to close smoothly, securely, and consistently without the need for slamming.

The system features case-hardened internal components for long-term durability, along with a precision-machined billet striker for improved alignment and a high-end appearance.

All components are zinc plated for corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance, and can be painted to match your engine bay.

Each kit includes everything needed for installation: latch assembly, billet striker, mounting components, hardware, and detailed instructions.

The result is a smoother, more controlled, and more secure hood closing experience that brings a modern feel to your classic truck.
