Hi guys Ive come across what I believe is a 47 ford 1-1/2 ton truck. The key is in the ignition. There is a lock on the passenger door, but not on the driver door. I'm trying to get the driver door open by slipping a hooked welding rod thru and tugging on the door handle but no luck popping the latch. My dad had a 52 and if I remember right, did the door lock with the handle, by pushing it forward and then it would release and open the door by pulling rearward? Is that the same with a 47? From what I can see by prying on the door a little, that there is only the rectangle slide latch that is holding the door closed. Any suggestions? Are there and illustrations for the door parts ? thanks mailman
