Re: 51 3100 Dakota Digital door latch

The deal with those is most guys who run them run shaved door handles and use actuators or solenoids to open the doors. you would have to design and fab the linkage from the door handles to the latch.

The Altmans are set up to work with stock door handles and for AD trucks they have one design for 47/51 and one for 52/55.1. I asked a while back and they can do a setup that lets you use 47/51 doors in a 52/55.1 cab without a lot of fight.

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