AutoLoc build quality products. I have their remote door lock kit on my 77 and it works great.

jrsmith_2010 · 08-19-2008, 10:07 PM

so r they worth the 100 bucks or so?

spr85gmc · 08-19-2008, 10:21 PM

do it and post helaaaaaaaaa pics

Haven't used these in a 73-87 but did use the same 50lb pull setup in a different vehicle with shaved handles. Worked awesome while I had the car (about a year) and didn't even need to install the poppers as the doors opened enough to get the fingers in. But honestly, I doubt I would use the 50lb guys again. I'd go for 35lb pulls.

I'd also look into SPAL brand parts. IIRC SPAL was cheaper and had good overall reviews also.

hey are them same ones but with poppers

mrenj23 · 08-20-2008, 06:29 PM

I used this commando kit and it was very easy to install. I can't vouch for durability cause mine hasn't been used much (project not finished yet) but my friend has them on a DD with no problems.

mrenj23 · 08-20-2008, 06:33 PM

sorry couldn't figure out the link thing...It's the 40lbs. kit

jrsmith_2010 · 08-20-2008, 06:37 PM

so i think im gonna buy these and have them here sometime this week or next.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 08-20-2008, 10:10 PM

I like them don't have them on my own rigs though and 40lb ones should be fine.
