Now I have the springs from Jim Carter but not sure how to put them on. I don't want to take more apart then I need. Any pictures or information would be great.

In Jim Carters truck parts book it is called a door latch spring. They say it is exact replacement circular spring inside door latch. Page 29 if you have their book. I may have to call them for tech help. Thanks for the try. The truck is coming great. Painted, lettered and going to get the interior done in a few week. More people stop to see this panel. I will be looking for another one when this is done. I will have to figure out on how to get my pictures on to the stovebolts site.

The spring you show is the spring on the back door of my panel truck. I just got the screws out which was not easy. The spring you show is not there so the handle just hangs down. Do you know where I can get that spring.

On the front two doors it looks like you have to take the window and track out to get the latch off. Is this right. Thanks | | |
