Re: 51 Chevy 1/2 ton, My S10 swap
I finished the lock install today, including wiring. I ordered the Altman latches and the power lock actuator brackets from them also. The brackets were a pretty simple install. The actuator kit I got off of ebay.
I used the "screen door spring" method for running the wires from door to cab. It works really well. It was nice that my EZ wire harness came with a power door lock lead. The power wire from the control unit for the actuators also has an in line fuse.\
The only real issue I had with the altman lock brackets, were the plastic clips that hold the lock rod to the lever on the latch. They did not hold them in place. The rod kept popping out , so I added a plastic wire tie to help hold the rod in place.
