My control will work if I put it it that way. If you look at this link from the '47 shop manual you will see that the rod that connects to the latch is parallel to the door, not angled. Did Gm change this some time between 47 and 49? http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/shop/1947truck/47ctsm0107.htm


It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it.
