Hi. I was all hyped up to buy a 99 B250, but it turned out to be a bit crappy when I looked at it. So I found myself buying a 93 B250 Chrystar conversion instead. Much nicer, I'm pretty happy with it.

However.. one thing drives me nuts. The doghouse has various doors for storage. One of them doesn't latch right so when I accelerate it drops open. I was curious.. does this (see attachment) look like the same stuff a stock B250 has, or did Chrystar do something to customize it? I'm hoping it's stock so I can maybe get replacement parts to fix it.

Thanks!

 

that's the same console I have on my 1996 Aero Conversion. It's stock. Here's a link for the one that fits my 1996 B2500. Maybe it will help you find what you need. The diagram says that it's used from 94-97.

Got a place to lay some Velcro strips to keep it closed?

 

Good idea. or I was thinking perhaps a tiny neodymium magnet super glued with a corresponding glued flat washer.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear it's stock. Of course, when I found the stock part on one website it was listed at $60. I don't think it's a $60 problem, lol. Some guy on eBay is selling one for $125! Ouch. I was thinking of getting something like a bathroom medicine cabinet uses:



The cylinder would rest against the part you push down to open the door. Problem with mine is the part you push down to unlatch it doesn't stay up, so it doesn't hold itself closed. Figured this would push it up and thus have it latch and it would depress when I open it up. *shrug*

 

Stop by Lowes. In their fastener section they have a few automotive items. There are also some special magnetic latches over there too. Something should work for less than $10.
