??52 doors on 49 Cab??

What is involved and what are options for easily putting 52 doors on a 49 cab? I know the push button is different than lever handle. I really dont care which type of handle I would end up with, just wondering what is the easiest way and what is involved, if there is one to make the 52 latch fit on the 49 truck?

thanks

I am pretty sure the door striker would have to be changed to the 52 style, but will those bolt right on where the 49 striker was or is there other modifciations needed on the cab?

Yes, the striker has to match the door handle style and latch. Just snag the strikers when you get the doors or buy new strikers from one of the truck goodie vendors.
