71 C10 Bear Claw Latch Installed
I don't know if anyone is interested in doing this, however I have managed to fabricate and install the passenger side door claw latch. I used ideas off of an older truck member of which I can't recall at the moment, but here is what I did. Sorry for them being sideways.Enjoy!
In the last picture you can see the automatic door lock I also installed with the latches. It will only work when the latch is closed or when the door is closed which is why I installed Dakota Digital's Magnum Shooters- If anyone is interested in seeing a video of how it shuts let me know and i'll post one. |

Re: 71 C10 Bear Claw Latch Installed
Clamping force .....way less wear area than stock....super easy closing when adjusted properly......believe me ...I have closed a many of c10 doors and they work.....but in building mine it was worth the time and effort to upgrade...just a personal choice.......jim
Don't have pics just yet...working on this area right now.....lol
