My 1954 half ton driver's side door handle points down and moves forward to open the door. The pasenger side handle points down too, but moves back to open the door. That right? It seems unnatural to move the handle forward to open the door. My manual shows the handle pointing down and also says to pull it back to open the door. I'm confused, but that's normal for me.

The latch releasing chilibob needs to be pulled forward to un-latch and normally pulling the handle aft pulls the chilibob forward. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 | I wrote in another thread that my driver's door won't stay locked, but will stay in the unlatched position. Upon closer inspection, turns out the truck has two right-hand latch regulators, one in each door. That may cause your problem as well.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
