32 Ford Female Dovetails.
Me again. I'm probably expecting to much. When I got the 32 pickup the male and female dove tails were showing their age. First I tried Drake male and female dovetails and they worked for a while then the door started to rattle again. I then tried United Pacific male and female dovetails. The males are adjustable and seem more substantial than Drakes. The females seem to be like Drakes. Both manufacturers seem to allow the doors to move up and down after a 1000+ miles causing a rattle. I've moved the strikers in as far as I dare and still have the doors close without slamming them really hard. Did the original dovetails do a better job than the repros?
