Here is a photo of the door stop (strap) for my '40 pickup. Most of these are mangled beyond recognition, but this one is fairly nice. There are rivets on the inner support piece above and below the hole. What was the purpose of these rivets? If that are to hold a reinforcement or something on, they are long gone from every door I've looked at. If you have a photo of what is supposed to be there, I would like to see it.
Thanks,
