After spending an hour trying to wiggle a 89 Dodge car door latch into a 42 Dodge door I decided to remove the window guide and see if the latch would fit. The latch does fit but is about 1/8th to big and the window channel guide will not quite fit back into place. Before I start dismantling every door in my local wrecking yard has any body tried to update their door latches. The Dodge latches are almost perfect in size but I would need to do some modification to get them to work.
Of course if I get the latch in place there is the small problem of getting the outside door handle to work with the new latch.
Got my dana 70 sitting at the shop,and I may have a spare.
take care
