So, here is my scenerio...

I have 48 doors on a 52 cab. Personally I'm not in preference to the wing windows and prefer a solid on piece glass.

Now, I'm not a fan of the turn down handles as they always seem to droop over time and I'd really like to have door locks on BOTH sides of the truck.

I was looking at using the 52-59 door handles with matching cylinders to go with the ignition and glove box. Ignition is going to be dash mounted with the off-acc-run and sprung start. I've thought about using a floor or behind dash starter button but thinking more simplicity, and I don't have space to the right or left of my pedals as I have a clutch in this one and the high/low beam is to the left of the clutch.

Now, the thought... has anyone blanked off the holes in a 47/48 door and redrilled for a 52 latch set?

Anyone have any measurements for the holes??

Another point to note is that I'll be using small Autoloc bear claws for the latches with a few mods similar to Altman.

Anyone? Thoughts.

Thanks!
Ted.
