If I do need the pre-1951 strikers what mods are needed to mount them to my cab....Thanks for any help!
You need the middle ones on my photo above. It looks like those reproductions in a previous post look just like them but without the notch cut out of it. So you could get one of those new strikers and cut the notch with a dut off wheel in a die grinder and wham, you have the adapter strikers for the early doors in the late cab.
