> Alvin - I've been putting off reparing/replacing the driver's side latch for years. The "clip" sounds too easy! I'll try one before I tear the old latch apart. Where does the clip go? Do I need to remove the latch?
> Anybody - Do the reproduction door latches for a '54 fit and work? Any supplier better than another? Seems like I remember reading that the frame of the latch needs to be bent and tweeked a little to make it fit.

> CASO - I agree that small changes in the striker plate can help, but I've adjusted the striker up, down, forward, and backward as Alan Horvath described in his
"Alan's Street Rod Photo - Tutorials"> I probably need to replace the door rubber. The drivers side is dry and hard. Doesn't provide a cushion to press against the cab. I can't use a bumper on the driver's side - it won't let the door completely latch.
Thanks for your help,
- Lonnie
