Altman Easy Latch / Klassic Keyless Power Lock Actuator Kit for 1955-59 Chevy Trucks

Upgrade your classic Chevy or GMC truck with this full-door solution: smooth, secure door closure plus the convenience of modern remote locking — all designed specifically for 1955-1959 trucks.

What’s Included & Why You’ll Love It

• Altman Easy Latch (door latch kit for 1955-1959 trucks)

  • Vehicle-specific bolt-on “bear jaw” rotary claw latches with contoured jam plates to match the door shape — no welding required.

  • Works with factory exterior handles, interior handles, and exterior lock cylinders of the specified trucks.

  • Each kit includes everything needed for both doors: latch plates, latches, striker plates, stainless steel striker bolts, hardware, templates, and instructions.

  • Finish and construction built for durability: zinc-plated latches and case-hardened claws to resist wear and corrosion.

  • Result: doors that close smoothly, latch reliably, and ride safer — no more door-slamming or unreliable catches.

• Klassic Keyless Entry System (designed for Altman Easy Latch on 1955-59 trucks)

  • Converts your classic truck to remote locking/unlocking — get modern convenience without compromising classic looks.

  • Includes: keyless-entry control module (with onboard relays), two 2-button remote controls, two door-lock actuators (15 lb pull, built-in overload protection), mounting brackets, rods, hardware, wiring harness, and full-color step-by-step installation manual. 

  • Designed to integrate cleanly with the Altman latch kit — ensures compatibility and reliable function. 

  • Adds modern convenience and security while preserving your truck’s classic exterior and handles.

Why This Bundle Works

This bundle solves two common problems for classic-truck owners in one package:

• The often faulty, worn-out original latches that lead to poor door fitment, uneven closing, or slamming — replaced here with a robust, well-fitted system designed for your exact model years.

• The lack of modern convenience — keyless systems didn’t exist when these trucks were built; this kit delivers remote-lock convenience while keeping the original door-handle look intact.

Perfect whether you’re doing a restoration, a custom build, or simply want your vintage truck to feel “right” every time you shut the door or lock the vehicle.

Important Notes / Fitment Info

• This kit is not a universal fit. It is specifically built for 1955–1959 Chevy & GMC 2-door trucks.

• Installation requires removal of the factory long interior panel (the installation plates included do not work with that panel intact).

• If you plan to install power locks, the keyless kit is required — the latch kit alone does not permit locking the doors from the inside.

• This keyless entry set will not work on trucks with shaved door handles (i.e. where handles have been removed or modified).
