Why would you want that for this body style truck?

just thinking outside the box alittle bit, i saw an old chevy with suicide doors awhile back and i thought it looked amazing

Re: suicide doors
 

I don't know about for that year, but there are plenty of universal kits that you can modify to fit...keep in mind, it's not an easy task to make it right.

I don't know about a kit but there are some threads on the subject on the board. The best way to get info on it is to type "suicide doors" without the quotes, into the Google search box at the top of the page, then click on the circle in front of 67-72chevytrucks.com, then Google button. That way you can choose the threads you want to read.

Sometimes it's better to think INSIDE the box a little and not screw up a good thing...

Re: suicide doors
 

well what i am doin with my truck is making have a time machine appearance on the outside it will look like it did in 69 but when you open the doors and sit inside it will be just like driving a new truck today but with a little twist and also i have always been a fan of suicide doors cause you just don't see them that much

Re: suicide doors
 

I think it is a great idea if done right. I have used hinges from a full size 2 door jeep wagoner with good results. I have a truck in my shop right now with SD but I am not sure just what hinges he used.

Just put some Lambo doors on it! LMAO...seriously though suicide doors are not rare in my opinion, I think that they are played out by now.....to each his own, be sure and share some pics or do a write up to help others that may be interested in the same thing.

Re: suicide doors
 

yeah ill do a write up on it and include pics once i get to it, i just had a bad storm blow through awhile back and it destroyed my shop :waah: so i got to get everything squared off with insurance for a new barn, so when all thats all up to code then thats the first thing that ill do, also ill keep everyone up on everything else that i will be doing to it if yall like custom trucks then u will be amazed

Re: suicide doors
 

No one makes a "kit" to suicide a specific vehicle. They are all universal and you have to fabricate to make them work.

Re: suicide doors
 

To do them nice, you need some serious reinforcement in the cab corner and the doors to prevent flexing. And yes they take some time, but I think they're cool! Here's my 67:
