'73 Trunk latch

Need a new latch (locking latch, not the half-square support) for my trunk.

Old one doesn't work anymore, any way or any other models fit this year?

I have the key and lock, it's just the latch I need. Any way I can get in touch with you?

If it's the mechanism held in with 2 bolts under the trunk lid it should be easy to find as all Chrysler cars used the same part, up until the 1980's. You can often find the latch assemblies in junk yards, they take all of 1 minute to remove from a car.

The best ones to get are the electric latches from luxury Chryslers and old police cars. Grab the "trunk" button assembly from inside the glove box as well. Only one wire is necessary. Hook one wire from the switch to a hot battery source, the other wire goes from the switch to the latch. With this setup you'll never have to worry again about locking your keys in the trunk.
