Where did you find your latches? Are they aftermarket reproductions?

They are reproductions. They work great. I Googled for them. I may have gotten them off of EBay.

Word on the street has been that some of the aftermarket latches have been subpar. I don't believe everything that I hear on the street.
What I do genuinely believe is that door adjustment is one of the most frustrating things to do on these trucks even if you have a set of NOS latches.
