Just joined, yeah! Hope someone can help me find where to purchase or have refurbished the door latch mechanism with cog for a 53 Ford Victoria 2 dr(driver's side). Car is original and would like to know what normally wears before I tear into it. I am assuming wratchet or spring. Noticed these are available only for pick-ups in various catalogs. Would parts interchange ? Please advise asap. Thanks G

Many latches can be repaired, once you get them apart and see what has worn. The usual problem stems from worn hinges that let the door sag, or bad striker plates. The plates can be found in the C&G catalog, page 270. For the driver's side, 8A-7022009-LH, $20.

If you post the problem with the latch, someone may be able to give you a solution. You can place an ad for a good used latch on this site in the classified section or on the Ford Barn site. Here is a link to Hemmings site for Services offered http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/query?adtype=servicesoffered&type=keys Tom

In addition to the other good suggestions you might want to search on e-Bay.There a couple of vendors on there that specialize in 52-56 parts. You might also try Concourse Parts in Carson City,Nevada. In addition you might contact Mel Fourez in Ojai, California ph# 805-646-3345. He's a V-8 Club member and also deals in Merc parts.
