Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

this is a awesome build cant wait to see more of it

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

WOW!!! great work

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Looks great Jim. Our doors are original and don't fit near that well. Keep me posted on the one piece glass details. We want to do it, but I keep getting mixed feedback. They all look great up or down, but that is the issue. How hard is it to get them up and down? I'm sure you will make it work and look good. Keep up the excellent work! We should be mounting front sheet metal soon!

Working on bear claws now on dr. side...ordered 1 piece windows to make sure they will clear bear claw...I know on stock latches u have to grind on them..as an after thought i was afraid the bears may be to thick...3/4 " thick..about the same as stock...needed to get this right before welding in pass.door in case they have to "bulge" out a little into the jamb....oh well live in the "fab" world...lol......jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Finished up bear claw in cab jamb......man it was worth getting some jamb pieces from another board member...that metal would have been tough to make that rolled bend..pics of before (of pass side still to go) and now....and replacement panel for pass.side....fairly easy install and door closes NICE.......Slosh Tubz tomorrow....oh boy.....I feel someone grinning....lol....jim

Nice work! We went opposite for the same reason you mentioned about the windows. The claw is in the cab and the pin is in the door on ours. There's pics in my thread. That's why I love this stuff! 100 ways to skin the cat! Keep those pics coming!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

And that's why I'm not doin pass door until windows get here this week and I get dr. side installed..claw will stay and I think will clear but we'll see..I want the ring brothers handles so needed release to be in door...I'll be back.......jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Oh ya baby !!

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Well a little progress...Had to modify p.b. hood hinges since I welded up wire channel.....little tweakin'...and boy do I like um'.....Only thing is hood open height but man they open and close perfect...the mods were on the outer bracket...had to cut the bracket off at bottom so ended up a 2 piece bracket.....but still works well..........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Beautiful.....what hinges??? All I could see was Slosh Tubz !!

Sounds like a proud papa. :lol:Hinges look good...Jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

Since U brought that up...having a rub problem on pass. side where hood "fold" is ...need to pull front of tubz away from fender 1/4"...may have to slot a hole or 2....OUCH there goes your reputation.....lol......but then again it is an aftermarket hood!!!........jim

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"
 

dang aftermarket hoods.....LOL, my go to statement in this case is they fit pretty darn good for aftermarket parts...LOL, they fit better than most of the metal aftermarket inners i have installed !!
