Very nice kit, easy to install. amazing how well doors latch an open. Lot easier to adjust actual doors also as they won`t jump when opened or closed . My customer is very pleased with her truck doors, ease of opening n closing.
Easy Easy
The easy latch is one of the best upgrades I have done for my 49’. I no longer have to worry whether my door is shut. I can’t tell you how many times I have gone around a corner and had the door fly open. No more slamming on my old door wondering if I am going to break something. Love these latches !!! Don’t slam, just push ! Awesome
I will never install anything other

Bolt-on Bear Jaw Door Latches for 1947-51 Chevy Truck - Altman Easy Latches
They are very well made and easy to install. Work perfect once they are on the truck. The only thing that I had an issue with was that I had to cut a little extra material out of the door because the template wasnt a 100% accurate. Other than that the installation was perfect.

1. What is the difference between the 47-51 latch kit compared to the 52-54 latch kit? I have a 49 cab with 52 doors. Which kit should I use? 2. Do you offer a kit that can be welded in? If not, can these bolt on kits be welded in? I notice in the instructions that you have to grind off the nub on the window track. I assume that this is for clearance reasons. If that is the case, is this also the reason you don't offer a weld in kit? I can see that cutting the installation plate (provided in the bolt on kit) down and welding it in flush with the door metal would push the latch further toward the window track by an amount equal to the thickness of the installation plate. Would that cause the latch to contact the window channel? Thank you,
1. The 47-51 Chevy Trucks have turn-down style exterior door handles.
52-54 uses a push button style exterior handle.
You will need a mix match kit for your application. We can help. Give us a call at 1.866.987.4783 M-F 8-5CST
2. We do not offer a separate kit for weld-in applications. You can weld our kit in. We advise that you install it as the instructions state, and then overlap weld the plate. Some people want to cut a hole the size of the plate and then butt-weld it in, while this may work fine, it does move components around a little and may cause alignment issues.
3. You do have to grind that "nub" off the window channel for clearance. It may not be necessary on all applications, but it helps on some.
