Got some more work done today I worked on the rocker for the 4th door.
I used two new rockers to make one.I also worked on the back side of the b pillar I used the rear of the pass side b pillar off another sub. I flipped it upside down to fit also worked on upper door channel I used the same method on this area. Everthing is roughed in I wanted to get more done but it got late and I ran out of argon.

Time for some door pics, after lots of measuring its time to cut up a super clean rust free arizona door. This door was coated with under coating on the inside so I had to strip some off so it would sit flush.

I'm sure you probably measured it 10 ways from Sunday before you started, so chances are it will fit.

Havent got that far yet its just tacked together and sitting there.
I think Im just going to double layer it and weld down the seam to look factoryish
at least thats the plan.

No they are not door is just sitting there, its just held in by the latch.
It was getting late and I just had to check it out before I was done for the day.
The door fits in the hole but is nowhere near lining up, still have a little trimming
to do and alot of adjusting.

Ok, I could not wait until the weekend I had to know if this was going to work.
I got home from work drilled a few holes, now I have a swinging 4th door.
Still needs alot of work and adjustment but it works and fits pretty good as well.

No I did not see any reason too, the hinge sits flush on b pillar and it clears the inner latch. I thought I'd give it a shot, seems to work ok.

I think it's time for a video, doors open, doors shut (think of this as being said from that guy on 'Karate Kid', the original one "Wipe wax on ,wipe off." )
Just kiddin, sorta, looks fantastic ! :clap: Bravo.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 
That is pretty awesome that it worked that way!

I like the way you did your door better than the way I did mine and my brothers. On both of them I used the rear of a right door and then chopped the front of a left door for the hinge section. I thought there was a reason why I moved the hinges closer on my Burb to match the 3rd door, but i guess it was moot. I may just copy you for the hinges on my brothers door, and save me some welding.

After I bought my brake, I started to think that it would have been easier to use Suburban stuff and just flip it. But we had a real hard time finding one that we could get parts from. Donor parts are definitely the way to go.

oilyrag80 04-23-2013 09:30 PM

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 
Yea the door was eaiser then I thought it would be I am still going to use part of a passenger door as part of the finishing details. I was planning on moving the upper hinge down but when I mocked it up it looked like it would work so I gave it a shot. I used as much off the doner sub as I could I was just lucky my buddy had one i could cut up. The weather is about to get ugly around here I just hope I can keep up the pace.

This is the way I have always done it: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=497761

It's the fastest method with the best looking results IMO. Build is looking better every day! I wish I was brave/crazy enough to do one. :lol:
