Remember guys - if you can't fix it with a beater, it's an electrical problem. ;)

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I am a body work beginner and I have to say that looks like an incredibly hard problem. For the most part the door aligns ok, it just looks like a bad stamp job on the door at the factory. Looking forward to the experts weighing in on this one!

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Probably not a bad stamp, just fit a certain truck. I have a donor door on mine and the stamp is a little off too. It probably fit the original truck it was on perfectly. The chrome trim holes are off a little too, but probably fit the original fine. I think there were different measurements going on at different build plants back in the day. They got em close enough.

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
In those days it was just a truck, and they were put together very crude. Like on my truck the seam above the windshield is much bigger on the right side than the left side, and the door gaps are really bad. As far as it looks like my truck is all original.

they had an allowable range for the fitment of the pieces and panels...if you look in the assembly manual it tells the tolerances....as strodder said, they were only trucks so the tolerances were fairly large :banghead: probably depended lot on the different assembly guys....we all know how that goes :rolleyes: |

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I took my old 12 bolt rear end out tonight....411 gears and replaced it with another 12 bolt rear end I had with 373 gears and swapped out the trailing arms while I was at it.
I'm getting to old to be doing this crap by myself :banghead: |
