I can't say anything about them on a 67-72, but I installed them on my 39 and 54. They work great, I feel a lot safer with them. I fell out of the 54 one night making a right hand turn. My buddy's still talk about that and it was 10+ years ago. That was the point when I deiced to up date my door latches. On my 69 I bought a complete kit from LMC and have never had a problem since. Why do you want to use them? I don't see them being a problem to install, but fixing what you have would be cheaper and less time modifying the stock set-up. I will look for pics I have the install.
