Re: door latch assembly
Steve...In addition to these great responses, now would be a good time to pick up a factory assembly manual to help you out...They do offer it in a CD format that's searchable (cuz those of us who have one know how disorganized it is!!!)
Yep I keep my scrubby Chilton directly under my bible so I can prey(beg) for patience before each project. Mine covers 1970-79. Why they printed these across the body change years is beyond me. So naturally the only 2 pics they show of the exploded handle mechanisms are for the square body. No matter, it shouldn't be that tough to pull apart and eyeball what I need. I've always wanted a dvd how-to manual. Why get my book greasy when I can get the wife's remote greasy! Nothing like moving up. I'm sure I can google it but if you have a readily available link toss it up sir. Much appreciated.

Re: door latch assembly
Steve, it looks like you have some good responses. If that does not help, there was an article in Classic Trucks a few years ago that had a very good step by step guide for rebuilding 67-72 doors, complete with pictures of each step. If you need it, I can look up what year and month it was, and you can see how far they go back in their archives.
That would be great! Please do if it don't put you out too much.

Thank you much guys. I'll pull that inner door skin about noonish.
