I'd take the latch out give it a good cleaning and fresh lube. They're surprisingly durable.

77 down is a no go. I had one and went junkyard and grabbed a 78 latch. Got home, installed in door to find out the rods didn’t work. They also changed the vent glass in 78 and window lift. Believe that part is the same to 86, maybe the latch is too?
I want my fair share

SCG, good info. I'm thinking it's '78-84??? LMC truck lists a latch for 85-93 and same for the striker. Have a lead or 2 that I am looking into.
Funny thing, when working on it the other night, I had gotten the driver door locked and couldn't get it unlocked. Walked around and crawled across from the passenger side. Went back around to continue working on the driver side when I noticed the passenger side was now locked. I thought, "Why did the owner lock the passenger when I was just in it?". Well, he didn't. I unlocked it and went around to open the door and roll the window down, just so we didn't get the whole thing locked up solid. After rolling the passenger window down, I shut the door.......and watched the lock knob go down. What the heck? Yep. Pulled the lock knob up through the open window and opened the door and shut it........and the lock knob went down, LOL. At least it can be unlocked with the key easily.
This truck is lock-cursed.
