I checked on my suburban compared to my brothers cab and they both are different than above the front doors.

This is proving to be a pain to get lined up just right, by the way.

is this what your looking for I havent worked on this side much still need to work on the drip rail

Here's some more, the little notch cut out of the lower part is to clear the part of the hinge that keeps the door open. I will fix that after I get the outer skin done.

This is the layer I'm welding on the outer part of the b pillar to add strength
and copy the other side like the factory did. Now all 4 sides will be doubled 16gauge which is more than the factory did on the other side.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Alright, now I have another question for you. Are your B-pillars different widths? My right is 1/4" wider than what is there from the factory on the left? It freaked me out when I measured my door openings and they were 1/4" different. Luckily I set the rear of the cab from the leading edge of the B-pillars.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

No, I was talking about the inside... I think mine is 5 1/2" on the right, and 5 1/4 on the left. That will be fixed when I put the lip in that the weatherstrip attaches to.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build

Right now I am so glad that I squared everything up from the front of the B-pillar! I would have been SCREWED because I didn't notice the difference until this point!

I think I finally got the b-pillar wrapped up. now I can move on to the rocker that should go pretty quick its already half done. Next weekend is a long weekend so I hope to take the truck over to fellow board member boddydropped68's shop and extend the frame. I'm very exicted about doing the frame so I can finally see how this thing is going to look!

I also got the front driver door latch all finisded up. This pic is comparing it to the passenger side front door. It took 3 latches to make this one.

Truck is all loaded up ready to go to bodydropped68's shop for its frame stretch:metal:
Looks like ill have to make 2 trips because the bed and frame doner section would not fit on my trailer with the truck. But it will all fit on the way back!
