Pair older NOS door latches,probably truck

[sagefinds]

I got these out of a salvage yard many years ago and most of the stuff with them was truck including a couple Kenworth pieces. There are no numbers on them at all other than the old price in grease pencil. These are exact opposites so for left and right hand doors. It looked like the stuff was unsold inventory out of one of the old parts houses. Appreciate any help.

It's always fascinating to come across old parts like the NOS door latches you found, especially when they're from iconic trucks like Kenworth or Mack. It's great that Steve S. in PA could identify them as being for a B model Mack truck from the 1953-1966 era. These trucks are quite the classics in the trucking world, known for their durability and distinctive design.

Finding parts like these can sometimes feel like uncovering a piece of history. The B model Macks were workhorses in their time and played a significant role in the trucking industry. If you ever decide to sell these latches, I'm sure they'd be of interest to restorers or collectors working on B model Mack projects. It's amazing how even small components like door latches can be crucial in bringing these vintage trucks back to their former glory.

If you have more items from the salvage yard, it might be worth exploring what other treasures you have. Who knows, there might be more valuable and rare parts hidden in your collection!

Keep us posted on any other interesting finds you come across. It's always a pleasure to see pieces of automotive history being preserved and appreciated.
