Default The one thing

I didnt quite get right was the striker. I stripped the lock and it looked dreadful..

I could not believe the difference a sand blast made. OK the rivet and striker runner inside the lock were worn but that was easily fixed.

One thing I had to do was build up the end of the striker with weld. Will probably to add another 1/2 an inch more because of the flex in the Cab.

Youve only got lean on the B pillar of the Cab and the ruddy door swings open.

Got in the truck to got to Corowa, started it, put it into reverse, didnt even let the clutch out and the door swung open .

Never mind, cable tie for the moment and/or the air con position rod was implemented for Corowa.

Still have to do the inner door handle.

Interesting to note this door has the screw holes for an entire inner skin.
