These are all new after market parts
Thoughts? | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 2,951 | I'm thinking that your 1960 latch might be different than my 1965 latch. Are you saying that the LINKAGE from the inside door handle is not functioning?
OR
Are you saying the piece on the door won't properly connect to the piece on the door frame (cab)? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2001 Posts: 1,181 | Ok,we think we figured out what the problem is. The OEM door release is operated by a spring and moves the linkage forward and backward. The NEW aftermarket setup DOES NOT move the linkage forward enough to trip the release spring on the door lock. I had one OEM linkage for the passenger side and it works perfectly. Side by side they are identical, but the spring just does not work correctly. It's possible that the springs is just too hard/tight, but you are taking a chance of striping the teeth off of the new shaft part (trashy soft metal). I see now way to adjust the spring. I reached out to RJ Sisneros in Colorado for a OEM linkage. http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag64/jbgroby/IMG_20161008_090049220_zpsqagr1wjl.jpgJake
