I just bought a 52 3600 chevy pick up. Neither of the doors will latch. Slam the all I want to and they will not latch. Where do I start? Anyone got a bright idea what to do?
Brightest idea I had was to replace the door latches with Altman bear claw type latches. The long story is here: https://talk.classicparts.com/threa...eeks-doing-a-four-hour-job.21326/#post-102177 Seven years later and they still work well.
I disagree ; Joe (Mothertrucker) has N.O.S. door latches, I'd replace the strikers too and adjust them very carefully , you'll love how the door closes and latches after... Bear claws are nice but it's a significant job and these trucks are death traps no matter what door latches they have .
