power door locks

Ok, I need some help. I want to install a power door lock that works with an outside remote and a switch inside. Somewhere on here I saw pictures of a yellow truck that looked like it had a dead bolt in the rear door pillar that must have popped out into the door to lock it. Ive looked at using a power lock that works with the door latch but im not sure that would hold the door closed.
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Re: power door locks

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.
