Ford Truck Roller Hood Latch

[Todd @ CARS]

Does anyone know a source for the aftermarket custom hood roller latch mechanism for a 1955 Ford Truck? Thanks for any help.

You may need to be more descriptive with what you're trying to find. Is the hood on rollers or is the latch itself need to be a roller type? BMW used a roller setup for their front hinged hood . Front would pop up about 4 -6 inches which would bring the reart of the hood forward about 3-4 inches then would tip forward from there. I think some later model full size Pontiacs used something similar. As far as a latch, I'm using a mini bearclaw to lock the sides down on a 3 piece hood.

I think Auto-Loc makes one that I saw on a '55 Effie.
