Altman latches from MF
Has anyone used the Altman door latches that MF sells, are they as easy to install as they say? does the door lock actaully work? do the doors work/align better after install and lastly do anyone have pictures of an install I have some on the way which I should get at the end of the week.
Thanks in advance.
Also has anyone used Astro van seats for a 53-55 again any pictures.

I used altman latches on my truck - they fit very well and were quite easy to install. They do work with the stock locks etc (I put a set of NOS locks on at the same time).
I had to file out the mount holes a tiny bit on the striker for a better fit but thats because I had to make up some new backing plates behind the door piller (and I'm not as accurate as a cnc machine!!).
Just be careful when cutting the door - easy if you have the right tools and are patient.
