Door striker posts

Does anyone make an adapter to change striker posts to use 1967 doors that need a round post on a 1969 Bronco?

Welcome
Jeffs bronco grave yard and I'm sure some of our other venders sell the door striker posts for 66/67 style doors. Or you can install the 69 latches and modifiy the door so that the latch will be in the correct position for the striker post or cut the striker out of the post and move it to the needed height and reweild it back in.

Striker posts

Thanks. The striker plate on a '69 is 2.5" c/c on mounting holes and the '67 is 2" c/c so if someone makes a round post with 2.5" c/c holes it would bolt right up. I can't redrill my '67 striker plates for use in the '69 because there is not enough metal. The posts have the same centerline height and location.

The height of where the striker plate mouints and the door latch is different between the 67 and 69 doors and tubs. So basically you have to modify either the door or the striker post to get the doors to fit no matter what striker or latch you use.
example I have some 73 doors on a 67 tub the door latches were moved up about 1in in the door to mate with the striker. I used the 67 latches and strikers.

That sounds like the best way. I'm wanting to use the '67 doors on a '69.

Sounds like the same thing I'm dealing with now... how difficult was it to move the door latches up? What was the process you went through?

Thanks!
