Where could I find a pair of ceiling latches for the ’77 - ’78 bunk bed. GMC changed the latches from the earlier coaches to be recessed instead of sticking down from the ceiling. I’d like to change to the later model.

Actually my friend, Mark Martinek, made a set for me from stainless and they are beautiful. He used his laser table and a cad drawing to fab them up, then inserted stainless studs. He even gave me some stainless nylock nuts to affix them.

I’ll try to piece together a video to show what great work he does.

Isn't that a junkyard donor only part? It's great if somebody is fabbing it!
