Possible interchange for door strikers

[BobT-47P15]

My son in law did some upholstery work on a 1949 or 50 Studebaker a while back.  He

noticed that the door latches look a whole lot like those on a P15.......therefore would

likely interchange.  

 

There is information out there in some book.......maybe Motors Interchange Manual, or

some similar name......that says (for example, just making this up) -- that the same

water pump--or U joint -- or  tie rod end..... will fit a Studebaker and a Plymouth and a

Hudson, etc.   In other words, a person could shop for a needed part in more categories

on eBay.    Just have to know what you need.

Yup what you need is a Hollanders manual. Last I heard you could still buy them new from Hollanders directly for the old cars. The newer stuff is all PC no paper.

the replacement kits you can buy at swap meets now and then list both Mopar and Stude as same..I have enough new rotors to rebuild three 4 door cars with a extra or two probably..

Another possible interchange for Plymouth body hardware is Packard because they got their bodies from Briggs also.

_{the Packards are not interchangeable with Mopar in the door rotors....AS an added note though the rotors are physically the same size..not all are the same bore..the Mopar seems to have the larger bore than thus the smaller may be bored to fit....I have no way of knowing if the smaller bore is that of Studebaker as I have never dissembled a Stude latch...}
