Door lock
Does anyone know a good method for locking the passenger side door when using the Altman bear claw latches?

Re: Door lock
How to rig the lock cylinder linkage is in the instruction sheet for the 47/51 trucks.
http://www.triquemfg.com/content/194...structions.pdf It says you can't push the handle forward and lock the doors from the inside and that you either have to figure out and make a lock rod or use electric actuators to lock the doors from the inside. On the 52 and up I think the lock cylinder in the door handle pushbutton locks the pushbutton it's self. That can be a bit of a pain as you have to walk around and lock the other door from the outside unless you figure out how to do it from the inside.

Re: Door lock
I appreciate the suggestions, but both seem to be inconvenient. I thought about it and came up with a simple modification and it works pretty well. I can add a billet knob after upholstery is installed. The rod moves about 1/2" to lock and unlock.

Re: Door lock
Anyone know if this would work on a Task Force truck?

Re: Door lock
you could prolly make it work. the only thing I am thinking is that the weight of the mechanism may auto lock the door as you drive over bumps etc. could you run a longer rod up and have the old fashioned vertical lock rod at the base of the window, rear edge?

Re: Door lock
Problem is my doors and door panels are already final painted and i didn't think of this option. I may have to just walk around and lock the passenger door externally like the driver's door

Re: Door lock
You push it up to lock down to unlock. The pics are reversed makes it a little confusing. Since the left door can be locked by key I will only make this mode on the pass side. Don
