What part of the latch mechanism are you looking for? The striker...the interior door handle mechanism...the exterior parts?

Try Dynamic Corvettes (www.dynamiccorvettes.com). I've found they have usually have needed parts and reasonable prices and good service.

Left hand door?

Is that the drivers side or the passengers side door...

I never remember which side is really the left ?

I just gave away a complete passengers side door last Saturday to a fellow club member.

I went out to look at the drivers side door juat a few minutes ago but it was burried behind a ton of Glass I salvaged from 3-4 Chevelles...Too much work today to
mobve all that glass and take a look...BUT I have to
pull out the Christmas decorations from that shed in the next week anyway...

Not really sure if the internals are still in the drivers door But if that is the side you need I can pull the door out and look... I know I already removed the glass and the lock from that door But I am not sure if the intermnals are still there ... If I have the parts you are welcome to them just pay the shipping charge...

The door I still have came off of my 76 ...

Bob, just for reference.

Everything is refferenced as the driver sits in the car. It's an easy way to remember.

So driver side is to the left of the driver. Left side.

Check with Corvette Mack up in GA,
www.mack@corvettemack.com. Also check him out on ebay.
I have a list of favorite sellers on ebay that sell a lot of C3 parts, and are reliable.

Thanks...BUT just how long I retain that information in my brain is another matter....

Guess I will just have to remember to sit down in the car
to figure out what side is left or right..

Lol
