    Does anyone have a diagram of the right rear door latch mechanism for my 68 Sport Van? The rod that latches into the bottom slot is there, but the top one is not, causing the top of the door to pooch out a bit. Thanks to you all for great posts and information.

    Don dids some Great pics on all the door latches. Have you looked inside the door for top rod?? The top one usually fall inside door when it comes off. Where the bottom one falls out of door and gets lost

    You guys ROCK! I made my forearm as small as I could and searched inside the door. I'll be DAMNED if that that little sumbitch wasn't loose and stuck against the inside wall! Now all I need to do is to find a clip to hold it in place (better than the first one) and I should be good to go. Thanks to you all for the assist.
