Door latches are loose, how do I fix them?

Hello,

More questions...

85 F250 Regular Cab, 6.9, C6, Long Bed, Cruise, Air

My door latches are rattling and the doors are loose at the latch. They hold strong but I'm trying to get all of the rattles out of the truck, a few more to go.. The hinges seem to be good. Is there a part I need to replace in the door or can the latch be adjusted?

Thanks.

if its the catch then you just need to look at the pin in the door jam. theres a plastic bushing that goes around it. if its not there then your gonna get some rattle.
