I've search the forum and found lots of references to bear claw latches, but not exactly what I'm looking for so here goes the questions...
I want to put door poppers with bear claw latches on my '63. I plan on keeping the outside handles, etc but only to retain the stock appearance...they won't be functional. To keep from having to run wires inside the door I've been thinking of putting the solenoid and latch on the cab and the post on the door. The inside door handle would go away and I would rig up something on the cab to open the doors from the inside. I know that this is backwards, but I'd really like to keep from having to run wires into the door. Has anyone done this or something like it? Is there some glaringly obvious reason why this won't work?
