1947-1954 Chevy Truck Latch UPDATE!!

Trique Mfg. wants to say thank you again to everyone that pre-ordered their Altman Easy Latch bolt-on bear claw style latch kit for their 1947-1954 Chevy Trucks. The response was amazing!!! We are currently working to process all of the orders that we received. We did however run into a small snag. One of the most crucial elements to the latch kit (the actual paws) were lost in transit after they left the facility that does our black oxide coating. The container the paws were in "broke open" on one of the trucks, but they can not seem to tell us which trailer the package had been on. They claim the box came down the conveyor belt empty. Seems to me like someone had to put the empty box on the conveyor belt to begin with. Did they not see the 1600 pieces of steel laying in the floor of the trailer? The whole thing has been very UPSetting. The good news is that our friends over at ACC cut us some new paws and they have already been delivered. They will be coated Monday and we will be back on track. Everything else is in place and it looks like we only lost about three days (not including the weekend). We apologize to everyone that has been waiting on their kit and we want you to know that we are doing everything in our power to get them out the door without sacrificing the quality of our products.

To those of you that have not ordered yet you are in luck. Because of this issue we are going to continue the 15% discount until we begin shipping latches out. That means you have until May 12th to get 15% off. After that they go to their regular price of $349.95.
