Door Latches - ponderous question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

This one has made me wonder for awhile, Is there later model Door latches that will fit into a 67-72 door that will function like a newer latch? (Handy things like locking the doors before closing would be nice without them popping up)

I don't know of any, I will have to keep an eye on this thread to find out.

I think having a door you can't lock without a key is a GREAT feature.

How many times have you locked your keys in your truck?

easy fix---instal power locks then you dont have to lean across the seat to lonk or unlock pass door either and real easy to lock keys in

I though someone would have a magic late model door latch that bolts right in...

Dont tell my wife that I unlock her door first with the key just because I dont want to bustle across the fancy racing bucket seats inside the cab, she thinks I am just

polite....
