Does anyone know where I can buy door latches for a 30-31 pickup? thanks, Mike

The vendors sell them.

Bert’s may have good or restorable originals
They’re better than repo

Same latches were used on Coupe & Tudor. I like the originals better than repo.
ebay is another source for originals... I see them turn up there occasionally.
Chuck Kuntz had some listed for sale here.. could check with him and see if he still has them available.

I agree, I would prefer good originals.

Agree on the originals. Reproductions came with my pickup when I bought it. The drivers side wouldn’t lock and I welded up the tab that slides under the tab to keep the handle from turning.

My Coupe had original latches that were both in really sad shape. I purchased repros from Snyder's and they work perfectly. I did need to slightly adjust the striker plates on the B Pillar after installation. I even modified the right side latch to work with a slide lock assembly.
