It's been awhile since I've posted any progress pics not much to show.
I have been working on another 4th door because the first one was buckled
in the middle and did not fit quite right. So I found another clean drivers door
and cut it down the same way I did the first one. this one fits much better.
Still a long way to go on the door but its a better door to start with.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Its still looking good sir!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Agree with Rus! Awesome truck bud!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I want to encourage you, this is an awesome project, keep the momentum going!
You are doing a really nice job with the cab and the hard part is almost over.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the build.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Wow this is like the coolest build ever. Can't wait to see it finished. Keep up the momentum.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Great Work...............

I love how some Guys make it look so easy...............

Worked on the 4th door a little yesterday lowered the upper hinge 1.5 inches to match the other side. I also had to cut into the hinge support on the inside so I rebuilt that. Then I tacked the door back together to ckeck the fit again.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I ended up building a whole new hinge area mount. I couldnt get the pivots to line up because the front doors are at a slight angle. Fussed with it for days.

Spent about 5 hours today working on the truck.I got alot done mostly small detail stuff. Since I moved the hinge down I had to weld up the old holes on the b pillar. then i mounted the door and re fit it. fits pretty good still need the rear section of a passenger side door to get the shape of the door to match the front door. anyway here's a few pics

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Check out how Rokcrln did this door http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=188993&page=4 Nice build by the way :metal:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I'm glad to see you are still determined to finish the 4th door and continue with the build.
What you are attempting is difficult to say the least and you seem undaunted by the challenge.
Once you have finished with the 4th door and have 4 swinging properly working doors you can look upon your work with pride knowing you have accomplished what very few men before you have even attempted.
I'm looking forward to seeing your accomplishment.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I looked at that many times he did a great job taking pics its like a cheat sheet!
I plan on doing mine the same way he did.




Thanks, I am determined to finish the door I just haven't had a lot of time to work on the truck and I feel like i'm slacking!

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Great progress! I have to try building a crew cab some day :metal:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Well I picked up the door section I needed for my 4th door.
All I need is the inner panel so I ground the edge to split the outer skin.
Then they just pulled apart, This door had a little more rust then I like
but it will be a easy fix. hopefuly more updates by the end of the weekend.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

More progress! Woot. Keep up the awesome work bud.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

I only got about 3 hours of work in on the 4th door but I made a lot of progress.
I was able to graft in the rear of the passenger door to the front of the 4th door.
It took alot of trimming and fitting but looks good, I still have to hang it on the cab to recheck fit. Then I will reshape the upper curve of the door to match the front door. Look at the last pic and this door now has 2 door lock rod holes, of course one will go away but looks funny right now.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

one more pic check out the scrap pile, this shows how much trimming I did to make this fit.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 

Nice work man...I spy a 36 in the background is that yours?
