Re: 47-51 vs 52-54 door handle/latch question

Those might be "adapted" rather than "adapter."
In the early 60's my grandfather rolled his 48 1 ton dualie about 2 miles from the house and we repaired it that next summer and the door he got was a pushbutton door and we had to go back to the wrecking yard and get the latch to make it work. That was my first shot at body work pushing the cab back out and getting everything to fit.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
