Re: door latch

that's all i used on truk, fakky
i bought repop hinges, latches and strikers from brotherstrucks.com
i'd rather deal with brothers for service, rather than some unknown guy on ebay
probably one manufacturer makes them for all vendors

there's really no reason not to use new oem style latches on our trucks
they are the safety double latch style, like all the newer vehicles
definitely get new oem style striker plates at the same time
i've never had an unintentional unlatch since i installed them

the ebay is a $104 vs brothers at $49 each side ($98)
but you pay for shipping with brothers
that why i suggest buying hinges, latches and strikers at one time
