A follow up to my previous post. While perusing e-bay one afternoon I spotted a set of door latches that weren't D-100 but I could see the star from the picture & it looked very similar. The guy only wanted $20.00 for the pair, I figured it was worth the gamble. When I got them I took them apart and...

I have a '65 long bed Sweptline fleetside and just recently acquired a 8' step side bed. year unknown at this time. An old friend who has one(Refuses to sell it, & it is getting trashed, no pun intended LOL) & is using as a trailer said they are worth quite a bit more because of the length. What's t...
