a lot of guys look at altman or bearclaw at this point, when new latches are all you need
for many years we didn't have a choice of buying the repop latches
i put a set on truck 10 years ago and have never had an issue or unlatch

Unfortunately the repop latches for 47-51 trucks aren't so great. I have tried several on my truck and they were never quite right. I recently replaced the passenger side with a NOS latch and it closes like my Silverado. I wish I could find one for the drivers side.
