are you trying to do something to keep the door closed because you aren't too sure if the latch will do that, or are you looking for a positive door lock for security reasons?
check out electric door poppers on google, maybe something will come up if you are just looking for security reasons. if it is for a solid door latch then maybe an upgraded door latch is more what you need. bear claw style. personally I am going with a door latch from a modern truck with the regular looking striker pin and a bear claw style latch system.
I have seen that same yellow truck and the only one that comes to mind is possibly ogre's build. maybe find him and send a pm to him. te other one that comes to mind is kabwe, aka bam's build.
