Altman door latch 55 Ford power stroke big job

Just finished installing my drivers door with a total rebuild all new internal parts and New Tinted windows Lots of work. The Altman door latch works great but the instructions suck. They would be better off not including instructions at all they just leave you hanging. If you’re not a good problem solver Do not attempt this project😁.

Tinted glasses very nice😎

Starting to look like a truck next step is ordering all the steel for the ramp bed😁
Next on my list is the passenger door hope it goes as easy keep on trucking.

Did you buy the Altman latch kit from Trique Mfg? This is the first report that I have heard about poor instructions.

The instructions I received from trique manufacturing were great but my latches were for a 51 f1 without outside door handles.

Don't know about other latches.
