Specifications

The HLK2020 Hood Latch Bracket Freightliner, offered by Wofford Truck Parts, is a replacement mounting bracket designed for the hood latch system of Freightliner Classic XL and FLD trucks. This bracket serves as the base to which latch assemblies attach, ensuring stable and precise alignment under vibration and road stresses. It is compatible with both left and right mounting positions. The part cross-references OEM numbers 1712434000 and 17-12434-000 (Freightliner) to match factory specifications. Built from rigid metal, the HLK2020 bracket combats wear, bending, and misalignment over time. It’s often used in hood rebuilds or when original brackets are damaged. With correct fitment, it helps maintain smooth hood opening and closing, and supports the latch to avoid hood sag or mis-catch. Ideal for fleets, repair shops, or refurbishing older trucks, this bracket helps preserve hood latch integrity over long use.
