These trucks are so simple to work on - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tried to close my drivers door this afternoon and it didn’t latch (latch just spun). So, after work I go to my parts stash and grab a used latch and about 45 minutes later, l was back in business. Can’t believe a 46 year old latch that has went through thousands of cycles broke 😊

You're right. That's one of the great things about them. You can actually climb into the engine bay if you need to.
