Rear hatch latch assembly missing.

Hey guys, my 89 Camaro has NO rear hatch latch assembly, the hatch just sits closed. I'm wanting to put a latch asm on it however, do not want the electric pull down setup. Do any of the earlier 82-84 cars NOT have the electric pull down? All I have on my car is the lock cylinder and hook on the lock cylinder.

I believe 86 is the first year for the pull down.

Cool, thanks guys. So I'm guessing I can go to the salvage yard and pull the setup from an 82-85 F-body and have no problems mounting it correct?

No personal experience, but apparently the conversion can be done:

Good deal, thanks James! Looks like I'll be hitting Pull-A-Part in Nashville when I get home!
