taigate lock? any ideas
I have a 1994 toyota pickup 2wd xtra cab. i put a tonneau cover on it last july, and i'm looking for a way to lock the tailgate. no companies make those ones that wedges in the latch. any ideas?

I'm not that familiar with the handle setup, but is there a way to retrofit a locking handle from another vehicle in place of the original tailgate handle maybe?

i've never owned a tonneau, but whenever i had a truck with a canopy/shell on the back, i'd put a simple slide latch/barrel bolt on the inside of the tailgate, on both sides. this way, you can pull the handle, but the gate stays put unless you've got access to unlatch them - which is where your shell/tonneau cover's lock comes in. slide latch is like $2.50 at a hardware store and takes minutes to install.
