HELP! New door latches in 49 truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm working on Project "49 No Buck$" and installed some new (repop) latches. For some reason I can't seem to make them work. If they finally do actually click into place, I have to reach in from the inside and pry down on the serrated arm to open the door. There isn't a lot of adjustment in the whole system, so maybe I'm looking at these all wrong. Anybody know what's up with these things or do I need to fabricate my own latches?
