Why I don't know why, the 55 Tbird guys change to the 56 style. Supposedly, they are better. I assume the sedans used the same latch?

Well, my bird has a 56 right rear quarter panel, including the door jamb. It has a hand made spacer to make the 55 latch work. It spaces the striker plate out to line up with the star wheel on the door.
A 56 latch would not work on my left side (stock) door jamb, they’re thicker. But they are better, supposedly that why Ford changed them. Part of the safety upgrade in 56. If I’m wrong, let me know, I’d do the upgrade on both sides.

Is the door latch on the 1955 Vicky the same as a 1955 T-Bird. Thanks Jerry
