Door Locks
Hello all I have a 72 C10 pickup SWB that I am rebuilding and I want to put an alarm and electric door locks on.
I was looking at the autoloc stuff looks simple but you know how that goes! Has any one come across any gotch's? thank |

Re: Door Locks
The hard part to putting in power anything is running the wires though the jamb. I suggest browse the junk yards, find one that fits your needs,(long enough to reach when the door is open) preferably round on both ends(makes cutting the hole easier).

Re: Door Locks
You could use Jam Tac connectors. They eliminate the need for wires to cross the door opening. (LMC $39.95)
 I used some farm engineering when I put powerlocks on my Nova. I drilled a 1/4" hole on both the door and cab and used grommets. The wires were wrapped in black tape, and a wire tie was placed on both sides of each grommet. Sorry I don't have a pic of it on this online yet. Maybe soon. more later Justin |
