53 Chevy Pickup Bear Claw install take 2
On my last Thread I made some latch parts to install on my 53 Chevy PU and things were working good until I installed the window track and window the lever arm that was made to work with the outside push button would hit the window track and would not release the latch. So re-adjusted the arm a couple of times and still no luck. Lucky I only tack welded the parts. I work at Detroit Performance Center Speed Shop, I'm the Sales Manager working there and have allot of sources of parts and one of the products we sell at the shop is Lokar, they have a pulley and cable kit for door latches, I made it work with door latch. The passenger door works now with install of the Lokar kit. Here are some of the photos of the Passenger door. I am doing the Drivers door next with the new mods to the latch parts. I will post more photos of installing the
drivers side. Last edited by 53chevy.pu; 09-16-2014 at 10:49 PM. |

Re: 53 Chevy Pickup Bear Claw install take 2
The photos above will not work on the 53 Chevy pickup the lever that pushes the rod will hit the window track so do not build this setup, this is not a total waste I was able to salvage the brackets and reworked them to work. I will show you in the next set of photos.

Door striker mounting, notice the tack welds on the striker bracket.

Thanks for all the great pics! Nice seeing how the striker bolt sits within the factory inset.
