Here you go. Dont say I didnt warn you!
This is the end result of all your good advice.
A few words about materials. I used good quality steel for the door-pull. It has sufficient weight to keep the zip-tie to the outside of the door and has holes pre-drilled which makes it a good choice with no re-working involved.
For the zip-tie itself, I decided to heavy up and use one of my prized black ones that I only bring out for special occasions. I felt it would hold up better than the small white one.
To operate this new and customized system, simply reach inside the truck once the front door is open, grab the flat piece of steel and pull down. Door releases immediately.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
