rcarlisle Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well then I'd say just replace the strikers with later style ones, and check for how the door closed.I've never seen someone attempt to fix one with duct tapeAre the later ones the ones with the loop? That's what's on it. Or is that the early version?

ArdWrknTrk Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 The later strikers have a striker bolt that is not permanently captured by the metal bail. If you can get the bolt out, you can replace the plastic sleeve down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many things... thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But eventually we have enough onion rings to have a Bloomin' Onion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletproof250 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm trying to get the nerve up to start messing with door and body panel alignment on my truck, I'll be interested to see how your work goes. My door alignment went pretty well for a first timer, somewhat under the gun and outside. I didn't many helpful pictures, but It was easier than I though that it would be to remove the fenders. so much so I would consider it I was to do and engine or head work, it provides so much more accessibility.
