Also here is a tech tip on adjusting them & remember it might bother the door & latch out of adjustment. Both will cause the door NOT to close correctly...joe

Stovebolt Tech Tip -- Door Latches for 1947-1951 Truck

Thanks for the door tech tip, I put it on my favorites. I think I have the doors fitting the best that they can fit, I spent better than a month of Saturdays getting all the gaps square and the tops and bottoms to fit the best they could. I don't know if they just didn't care that much about fit back then or if I was being overly anal but it sure did suck. For the door latches I was thinking about biting the bullet and getting Altman bear claw latches and being done with it. I live 2 1/2 miles down a gravel and I think 1 mile of washboards along the way is normal so I want the doors latched nice and solid. I remember as a kid with my old 52 chevy the doors would like to fly open from time to time.
