The screw that holds it on, goes through the striker plate and screws into a piece of metal with two holes in it. Does anyone know where I can buy two of them? I have one that is stripped and one with a broken head in it.
I checked Classic, Carter's and LMC. No luck
Ideas? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | Probably cage nuts. You can replace them but you'll need to gain access to the back side of the pillar if you don't already have access. I'm not familiar with the construction of that part of the truck so I don't know how difficult it is to access the back.

They are not reproduced as far as I know send me a PM I can probably help you out here is a picture of them. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2492688590102454676vhyrgAhttp://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2432157460102454676VeLKTNThere are two styles 1947-50 which are 1/4" thick and the later 1952-54/55 versions which are about 3/16" thick. They fit in a pocket inside the body, stick your head in behind the door and you can see them. They are serrated to lock tightly into place in the pocket once you have the latch/door aligned. | | |
