yeah no one reputable has carried the 47-51 latches for a while, only place I can still find them is ebay and the reviews are terrible.
everyone who walks in my storage sees all the 47-51 doors and asks to buy latches, just latches, at pennies on the dollar, we are talking 10 bucks each. glad I am not storing that stuff outside yet.
zippi I wonder what is going on with your truck, its a 49 (outside cowl) with 52+ pushbutton handles but one piece glass. thats a lot of work, even just to install pushbutton handles, a few guys in the project forums have done variations of that, 52 doors with wings on a 47-51 cab, or just adding pushbutton handles to 47-51 doors. but I think yours may be the first with one piec window conversion (which isnt easy, you need all the parts of both doors if I remember)
definitely keep us updated on what you find
