Description
The Billet Aluminum Striker Block Upgrade is a premium aesthetic enhancement for owners of "Task Force" era 1955–1959 Chevy and GMC trucks. While the standard Altman Easy Latch kit provides durable steel plates, these CNC-machined blocks offer a high-end, custom finish that transforms the look of your door jambs.
Custom Billet Styling
These blocks are designed to replace the "plain" steel striker plates included with the original Altman Easy Latch kit:
Precision Machined: Crafted from high-quality billet aluminum for a sharp, industrial appearance that complements high-end restorations and custom builds.
Corrosion Resistance: The aluminum construction provides a natural, long-lasting resistance to oxidation, keeping your door jambs looking clean for years.
Perfect Fitment: Engineered specifically for the 1955–1959 Chevrolet and GMC truck cab geometry to ensure seamless alignment.
Installation & Hardware
Sold as a Pair: Each order includes a set for both the driver and passenger side doors.
Bolt-On Upgrade: These blocks are a direct replacement for the steel plates; no additional drilling or modification to your cab is necessary if you already have the Altman system installed.
Hardware Note:Striker bolts are not included in this upgrade. You will continue to use the specialized stainless steel striker bolts that were provided with your 1955–1959 Altman Easy Latch kit.
Compatibility
Required Equipment: This upgrade is designed exclusively for trucks already equipped with the Altman Easy Latch system. It will not work with factory original 1955–1959 door latches.
Vehicle Fitment: Fits all 1955 (2nd Series) through 1959 Chevrolet and GMC pickups.
Would hav given 0 stars but was not allowed. Never received. No follow up from Jonathan on shipping loss. I will deny charge to Discover card. Never will order from this company again. Will now post Facebook review with a do not use for parts. Builder ordered same kit from another supplier at cheaper price and recieved in 4 days. That was a lot faster also. Plus actually received order. Latches I assume were in the same shipment so same rating.
