Hey thinks I,something to stop doors opening as you drive,what a great idea!
Got some.Looked at them.Scratched my head.Realised I'm a low grade moron,'cause for the life of me I can't figure which way to fit 'em or how they are supposed to work.
Anyone help a feeble minded kripple?Or should I just sell up and book into the rest home now?

 

Got a picture of them, or an ad?

 

there y'go.
I thought they'd come with instructions,but I also thought I saw Elvis working in Burger King last week.

 

I think that you need to be using the 1956 truck latch and strike plate with those. I read about them in the Mid Fifty parts catalog. Something about the the thickness of the star wheel being different between the '53-'55 and the '56. They fit at the bottom of strike plate, and are secured with the strike plate mounting screws.

 

Thanks for that man.

from the online catalog;
<SMALL>Introduced in 1956 for better protection against doors flying open upon impact or cab flex. Also fits 53-55. Pair of right and left

It is all in the fine print in both catalogs that I have, print and on line. I study that thing because it is a great source of information on these trucks. I keep it in the library.(privy)
