I was wondering how you would lock the doors on a 41-46 truck

Lock driver's door from inside, slide across seat and exit on passenger side. Then, you can lock the passenger door. No key lock on the driver's door. This is assuming the '41 is the same as my '46.

Yeah the 41 is different that's why I was asking

There is an article on Jim Carter about 1934-1946 Door Handles and it looks like passenger door has a lock in the outside handle. No lock below the handle like the 42-46. The drivers door had no lock in handle but perhaps a T knob inside the door like in John’s picture.

I just read that article, thanks for the tip. So it looks like the locking handle is on passenger side. I looked at Jim Carter's and chevs of the 40's both don't sell locking handle

I have a 46 and it came with a locking handle on the passenger side. At the time I thought it was original. Till I went looking for a replacement. Was none of course because it shouldn’t have one. So I found 2 locking handles that match my handles exactly with a lock from I and I reproductions. I haven’t installed them yet and it looks mine has screw hole on the inside where these don’t. I believe mine are 37-39 handles but you could check there web site and see if they have the 41 or one that matches. I can find pictures later though if u want.
