Can any other readily available door latch assemblies be modified fairly easily to work on my 52 F1 doors. I`m a pretty good fabricator and welder, so I don`t mind some modifications. I just do not want to massacre my doors to make them work. Apparently nobody manufactures these that I can find. Thanks for any help.

Thanks,

Oscar

 

Here is a good article about repairing the door latches: Ford F-1 Door Hinges & Latches Install - Classic Trucks

Here is another FTE member who installed bear claw latches: 1951 Ford F1 4x2 - Bearclaw Door Latch

I am going to have to do something on mine so I already had bookmarked these two. Post pics when you do yours!
