Looking at your doors, did you modify the Altman system to allow locking from the inside?


You know, I don't know the exact length of the column. I got a truck-specific unit from Ididit, and it did fit just perfect: http://www.ididitinc.com/retrofit-st...ruckCS_Retr-47

Yep, that's the rack that comes with the Scott's unit. I don't actually know what vehicle they pull that off of. One of my background projects is working on a list of replacement part numbers for down the road - definitely need to contact Scott's and find out what that rack is, in case it ever needs to be replaced in the future.

I ended up not trying to retrofit the Altman latches to allow for locking from the inside. I'll be putting lock cylinders in both outer door handles, so I can lock it up that way when leaving the truck. The Altmans technically don't allow for inside locking, but I have seen it done. For example, skip99's excellent build: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...2&postcount=56
