New latch and striker plate.............but the reproduction stuff can be problematic. This has been a known problem for 70 years. My wife fell out of relatively new '50's pickup when she was kid. There is a really good reason this type of stock latch was redesigned.

Seat belts and Altman bear claw latches.............

That said .........There are several posts on latches, adjustment and rebuilding of the stock latch in the door section.
