finished up some details on the 4th door at the rear the shape is a little different so I grafted in a section from the fake door. This is where the little stationary window goes. also welded up the cut I made to reshape the door and I welded up the door lock hole.

I've been getting a lot of work done on the truck but nothing realy pic worthy.
I've also been working on a buddys truck and i have the seat out so i thought I would see how the combo of his seat and my seat looked in the crew cab. heres some pics let me know what u think

That looks great. Very in touch with the look and feel of the truck!:metal:

I like it! I personally think a bench seat in the back would look better but that looks really cool too!

yea I agree I also dont like the buddys in the back because they dont slide as a unit and its hard to get behind seat. This is a pic I took a while back
for a little comparison.

I worked on the front edge of the 4th door today i wanted it to look as factory as possible so i came up with a plan.
First another passenger door had to be sacrificed for the rear edge. I only needed an inch of it so I cut it in half then cut out what I needed.

I still needed a double layer so I cut another 1 inch strip section from the first passenger door I cut up then slid one inside the other.
Then I fit it to the door and cut it to fit.

then I set the gap and welded the seam thats as far as I got still have to weld the inside when I take the door off. Now I have a factory style pinch weld on the front edge of the 4th door.

This is turning out to be a Killer truck! (Question) What do you think about a rag top on that?

That's an interesting first post. Anyway the truck is looking awesome. I'd love to do one someday myself.

I managed to squeeze a few minutes in on the truck over the holiday. I got the door lock working great and marked the door for the last piece that needs to be grafted in. I should be able to finish it up this weekend.

Hadn't looked for an update in a month or so and was stoked to see some more progress. This build has me by the short hairs.
Excellent stuff!

finished up door handle section I test fit everthing before I welded it up.
I got lucky and did not have to modify the rod from the third door just flipped it and it fit great.
