Will I be able to install your latch kit in my 56 Ford as a replacement for existing bear claw latches? My truck has no exterior door handles.
That depends on how the current bear claws are installed. Download and read over our instructions, and make sure you will be able to utilize the template to make your cut out. Other than that, if the door has not been drastically altered, it should work.
I have your kit AEL 5356SH plain steel,is that latch plate available in polished stainless or chrome.Also my kit did not come with wrinkle strap for inside handle operation.
The kit for the 53-56 F-100 do not come with the replacement straps because the stock ones are already the correct length and angle. As for the plates, they are only available in mild steel.
Hi there. Should the latches work with the stock lock mechanism on my 56F100? It seems that the locks don’t reach the latch mechanism. Please advise. Thanks . Gregg
You can use your stock lock cylinder along with our Altman Easy Latches. Included in your kits hardware you will find 2 small stainless steel lock cylinder replacement pins. You will need to remove the 2-prong pin from your stock lock cylinder and replace it with the one we provided.
