I just replaced the exterior door handles on my '53 3100. I used to be able to push the inside handle forward to lock the door but now it won't move forward. My shop manual says it's 1948-1953 but the part on the door handles covers the earlier type and is of no help. I also searched earlier threads on this forum to no avail. Anyone have an idea on what's wrong?
