Door locks?
I just stripped the door latches off my 1950 F1 and noticed the only way I can lock the vehicle is from the passengers door? Could anybody shed some light on why this is? Or is it just mine that's like this?

Back in that time the roads were narrow and there were few parking lots so people were force to park on the edges of the roads - The vehicles were designed so that the drivers side doors were locked from the inside and the driver would slide to the passenger side to get out and then lock the door.
CAUTION: The inside door locks and the key locks are two seperate systems - If you lock the door using the inside handle, pushing down on the handle and closing the door, you will not be able to unlock it with the key - When you get things back together roll your windows down and and check it out
