Chevy Silverado Suicide Door Swing Shot
After taking careful measurements, by swinging the door shut and marking it, Jeff tack-welded the striker to the marked spot and checked it for fitment. On this particular truck, the striker is 15 inches from the bottom edge of the door to the center of the latch, and it's 3-1/8 inches from the inside shell of the door to the center of the latch. Once he had all of this lined up and the door was shutting on the striker, it was time to weld it up good. Jeff made sure that the door shut tightly against the seal before grinding all of the welds down and adding the body filler.
