Re: Best Door Latch?
If you're looking for a stock replacement, then look for an original one.
One of the things I'm going to do on mine is upgrade to bear-claw style latches... I've gone around the corner too many times in the last 10 years and had the door swing open. It's funny watching the passenger grap door jamb like a cat being thrown in a bathtub, but only until the *****ing starts! -Brad

Re: Best Door Latch?
Best door latch you can find is a NOS Original GM . Second best is good used. Third is repo. I am not sure but a lot of repo stuff is made in the same Taiwan factory.

Re: Best Door Latch?
A drop of oil once in a while does wonders.
Been driving these trucks since 1973 and never had a door fly open. |
