Stick your finger through on the R/S of the latch. You should be able to feel the lever that the rod is attached to. Push it and the gate should open. Its kinda hard to do. I had to do that with mine when I had the cylinder removed when I got it painted.

Arent you the guy that put an LS based motor in your Sy? You gotta be quite mechanically inclined to pull that off. Don't mean to offend just like to look at the humor in things.

So what is in store for the Ty? Another LS swap or something different?

Good luck,

No LS swap for this one. I don't really want to spend another 2-3 months doing that again. The ty needs a ton(understatement) of body work. I picked it up off my dad and decided to save it. A telephone pole fell on it

Sounds like another fun project. Do you plan on putting it back to stock, body wise, or doing anything custom to it?
Got any pics?
