don't know about hinges but that will be cool......

Why don't you just use the driver side hinges? The door opens the same way.

i dont know about the hinge, but that looks awesome.
are you going to have a B piller with both latches, or are you going to do something like a honda element, where the rear door latches on the roof and floor areas, and the front door latches to the rear?

Re: What is the best suicide door kit?
 

If the parts are available. Lately, they have nothing in stock.

Re: What is the best suicide door kit?
 

Dropped the door parts at the 'dip' shop today that we cut off the pickup. I went ahead and dropped the hinges, too. We will try to use the original hinges.
For the latches, we got a back door off of a Silverado and will use the internals for the top & bottom latches, and yes the front door will use a bear claw and latch to the new rear door.

I just bought a set of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUICI...item43a3cb85a1

I'll pm you the details but they are name brand and strong as all get out.
Don't get in a bidding war though as he usually has several sets listed.

Cool Mr48. I will look in to that if the stocks ones don't work out. Buy the way, any ideas how I could get a title for a 48 I want to build?

Re: What is the best suicide door kit?
 

I've got the stock ones in my truck now and they do work but don't let the door open as far as one would like. I cut the whole door post out of a junk cab and swapped side to side hinges and all when I did it. If you are using a left door as the back door it will probably work ok though.

WOW, after looking at it I see what he did and what a bunch of work he has in that. My doors open just about the same as he has that door sitting on the brake stool.

their hindges are dropped shipped I think from carolina customs.

Re: What is the best suicide door kit?
 

Tried the ole stock hinge trick, but you were correct, they don't open enough. Also, the curve isn't quite right. Ordered the CC hinges from the ebay ad, thanks MR48CHEV!

Does anyone make a suicide door kit for the tri 5 truck? I do most of my own work, but i dont want to reinvent the wheel either.

this is a 5 yr old thread for a different body style
you might want to start a new thread

for the record; tri 5 refers to 55-57 chevy cars, chevy didn't make a tri 5 truck
chevy task force trucks, 55 thru 59 uses the same cab for a 5 year run
and no... penta 5 doesn't work either :D
