Door Latch replace
Finally replaced the Drivers side LH door latch. The door only opened from the outside, inside handle would not open it, so whenever I shut it I would have to roll down the window and open with the thumb button. Took it all apart, and tried to reassemble with a 60-63 Latch Control let me tell you it is not the same as a 64! The darn guys at LMC must have gave me the wrong part, there is no way I ordered the wrong one 🙄(#sarcasm) Anyway I used the original one and it all works. In case anyone else has this problem of the inside door handle not opening the latch, I discovered that over the 57 years of life the latch wore out to a point it would not move enough to unlatch from the pin. It was not much but enough to cause the issue. There was a divot in the latching mechanism, the new one is perfectly flat. (The photo is upside down) The photos show it best. Anyway the old brittle window glass channel broke during the door latch project so now I have another project!
