Description

Help the right side of your tailgate latch securely again with the Dorman tailgate latch 38676 from the Dorman - HELP line, a right-side tailgate latch for replacing a worn or broken original. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and 1988-2000 Chevrolet C2500. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of Chevrolet and GMC applications.

The tailgate latch locks the tailgate to the bed when it is closed and lets go when the handle is operated so the gate can swing down. If the original right latch has failed, this part replaces it.

Direct replacement: Dorman engineered this latch to install and work like the original latch on the listed applications.
Made for a failed latch: Designed to fit and take over the latch's job when the original has failed.
Durable construction: Made from quality materials for durability and dependable operation.
Trustworthy quality: Supported by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Signs this part may need replacing include a tailgate that will not stay latched, will not release, has to be slammed to close, or rattles while driving. The handle or linkage can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the system before replacing the latch.

Which trucks does the 38676 latch fit?

It fits many Chevrolet and GMC trucks, among them the 1988-1999 Chevrolet C1500, 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500 and 1988-2000 Chevrolet C2500. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.

Is this the left or right tailgate latch?

This is the right-side tailgate latch. It is sold individually, so if the left-side latch also needs replacing, it is ordered separately.

What does a tailgate latch do?

It locks the tailgate to the truck bed when the gate is closed. When the tailgate handle is operated, it releases so the gate can open.

What are signs the tailgate latch may need replacing?

Look for a tailgate that won't stay latched, won't release, has to be slammed shut, or rattles. A worn handle or linkage can cause the same symptoms, so inspect those before replacing the latch.

Is the Dorman 38676 a direct replacement?

Yes. Dorman designed it as a direct replacement that installs and works like the original right tailgate latch on the listed applications.
