My question is about the later push button latches. If they are new repop latches, are they safe latches? I like the look of the latch and the catch and would like to use them, but not if they aren't safe.
Thanks

Mine have never come open and it was used to run a grain elevator the first 30 years of life and I used it for many years on the farm. I crossed dry creek beds and did much rough driving. Never opened. You just need to make sure you close the door and have them adjusted.
That being said, I have often times considered the Altman conversion, but only cause I like modern ideas on the old truck.
