Thanks for the support Grigg. My wife made the same suggestion about the 4:56. What a gal!
I solved the door latch last night. I cut a piece of stainless brake line, flattened it slightly in the vise and then hammered it down over top of the piece of push rod that was sticking out. I made the piece 1/8” longer than where the push rod stops. Works fine now.

The truck gods might be smiling on me today. I searched my local classifieds last night and found an ad that has a “60’s GM 3/4 ton rear end with a 10 bolt pattern”. Fingers crossed it’s the 4.10!

I’m looking forward to getting those brakes completed. Grrr.
