AI caption · Photo 104 of 206

This document is an exploded parts diagram illustrating the door latch and lock rod assembly for an early Ford Bronco door. The line drawing shows the interior of a door shell (indicated with dashed lines) with the latch mechanism components arranged in their relative installation positions. Labeled components include the outside handle to latch rod (shown at top left as a long bent rod with a clip), the lock knob and the lock knob to latch rod that passes down through the door top, the latch rod clip, the door lock cylinder, the lock to latch rod connecting the cylinder to the latch, the door latch itself mounted in the door's edge, and the door striker with its striker shim (shown with mounting screws) that attach to the body pillar. The diagram is useful for anyone disassembling or reassembling a Bronco door — it shows how the various actuating rods route inside the door, where clips retain them, and how the striker and shim stack up at the door jamb. No part numbers, dates, torque specifications, or model-year applicability are printed on the drawing; identification comes from the callout labels only.
