Re: Who restores door latches

I'd agree with what Brian said. You just have to do some artful hunting and be prepared to pay. Watch out for those clowns that think NOS means used original though. There seems to be a lot of that.

On the original question I don't know of anyone rebuilding original latches. In the early 70's I bought new latches from the local Chevy garage in McGregor Tx for under 25 bucks for all four pieces for both sides. They even had them in stock.

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