Fits: 1967–1972 Ford F-100 Trucks
Compatible with 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, and 1972 Ford F-100 models.
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This system is engineered as a direct upgrade for the original 1967–72 Ford hood latch, eliminating the bulky and outdated factory design while improving both function and appearance.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.
