My 1996 F350's doors won't unlock? Any way to manually open a door?

As far as I know mine is just the plastic OEM latch, but it takes about 5 seconds for me to MacGuyver it open with my Swiss Army knife's screwdriver. Now if I could just find that can of spray paint and borrow your chewing gum I will have us out of this prison in a minute or two....

I know exactly what that looks like. As soon as you described it earlier I thought yep that will work great.

To bad you sent the pic to William he doing something with his derriere at this time.
Something strange with baking and then there is some soda and some salt.
Could be a home experiment volcano test or somethin ------dunno...

I just wire a spare key to my frame with a piece of 12 gauge copper wire. I use it probably once a year for since 1997 when my kid got out of the truck, after I did, and I hear click, slam! And here I am in the boonies. Lucky I had the phone line in and called a lock smith. A month ago he did the same thing and he is 20. But this time I had the key! HA.

I helped out two young ladies once by filing the top rivet (just filed the edge off the rivet) off the vent window. I then used a wire tie to replace the rivet to get them on their way. It was a very cold night and I was able to save the rivet which I gave them.
A friend said I wouldn't be so helpful or take the time to file the rivet if it wasn't a FORD lol.

Hopefully it had nothing to do with the Ford and everything to do with the
young ladies.

ABSOLUTELY there is a way to get in your truck. Use the universal OBS key! It kinda ties into what DRRXR said in the end about the butter knives.
On older model Ford trucks and cars they have a brake master cylinder with a metal lid with a wire metal latch that runs over the top of it to keep the lid sealed. This wire latch, is perfectly formed to open your wing window.
Fish the latch/wire under the rubber of the wing window and the bend is almost perfect to push in the button, and grab the handle at the same time. And the wire is thick enough were you can twist on it to rotate the latch on the wing window.
I keep on just laying the bed of my truck. Nobody ever knows what it's there for except people that know this trick. I've used my so many times from locking my keys in the truck that I can actually open the wing window as fast as using my keys to unlock the door. Hope that helps. Trust me, when you see this work, you'll be amazed how easy it works.
