70 you can't lock the latch when the door is open, 71 & up you can...




Do they look different when installed?

Can they be interchanged or are some of the rod mechanisms different?

Anyone have a picture 70 E-body latch next to a 71 E-body latch for comparision?

The variation is very minor & you can't see it when the latch is bolted in, the only way you'll know is if you try to lock the inside lock with the door open... On a 70 you can bend the interlock tab & it will act liike a 71...

So the entire latch mechanisms will interchange by bolting-in and attach to the rods the same? And you can 100% not see the difference when installed?

but you would notice it after you put it on the car, got out, and tried to lock the door.
