Yes 53-55 door strikers are different than 56s.

Would you suggest the cmw trucks over Dennis carpenter but I think they are exactly the same.
Note: I am talking about the 56 ones.

Most of the vendors are retailers and sell the same products. Most of the stuff is made in China anymore.

In '56 Ford emphasized truck safety. These included a deep dish steering wheel, optional seat belts, and a striker plate with a cover over it so the doors don't pop open in a crash. The 56 striker plate is a bit thicker and the star door latch is a bit thinner.
