<VV> Rampside Tailgate and Ramp Latches

[J R Read]

IIRC - I believe that this was mentioned at some time in the past, but can't 
be sure if you are talking about the same crossover application.  What I do 
know is that while the latches (Rampside for sure - others ????) may look 
the same from the handle side, they are NOT the same at the "tongue".  That 
portion of the latch on Rampside has different lengths for ramp and tailgate 
and they are not interchangeable.
