Need help with 51' Custom doors

[ihadto]

I'm building a 51' Custom, two door, that really is going to be a custom.
I had a set of 49' NOS doors that were in better shape than my original doors.
Now I'm having trouble finding door latches. Do you have a resource for these parts?
Can I use 50-51 latches with 49 outside door handles? Can I use 49' outside door handles and latches, and make that work with 51' strikers? Please let me know your thoughts.

Try shoebox central.. There in Oklahoma they have tons of parts and the owner Chris is super knowledgeable and very helpful

Thanks for the Shoebox Central suggestion. I posted there as well.

I would not use the '49 latches or the '51 latches on a custom. Consider aftermarket bear-claw latches with solonoids and fill the holes. ..B.

49 latches fit 49 only and were no good. Totally changed in 50 and much better. You can modify the door for 50-51 latches and push button, or use aftermarket latches. Don't waste your time with 49 latches they are no good.

Thanks to everyone for the help and advice. It looks like I'm going back in to cut the doors, regardless of what style latches I end up using.....Back to the drawing board.
