What are

The little slider things on the back side of the door latch plates? I was cleaning my latch plates for my 70 short and saw them and wondered their purpose.

Re: What are

No not the shims, I'm talking about the little sliding blocks on the back side of the latch plate.

Re: What are

I believe they help push down the door latch so it contacts the teeth on the bottom correctly.

Re: What are

the reinforcement plates behind the striker plate mounted to the cab? they take the grunt of the door slams so the sheet metal doesn't get fatigued. I think that's what you're talking about
