Is the wood behind the striker bad? A few pics may help. I am just replacing the wood in my 31 Chevy Landau Phaeton. There are several places that sell replacement wood. Mabey a few more specifics on the wheres and we can see where we go.

Ken 1939 - thanks for your reply - the wood is sound but i believe that the nuts that hammer into the wood on the backside are twisting as I cant get the striker bolts out or in. The area is on the doorjamb where the striker latch keeps the door closed.
