Re: getting rid of wing/vent windows

I got a set of '50 doors that I'm using for my '54 for the same reason. The '54-55 1st series are different from the rest of the AD doors as the handles and strikers were diferent. That didn't affect me as I went with the Bear Claw latch system anyway. My '54 started as a 3600 3/4 ton long bed and now resembles a 3100 sb. From what I've gathered, it seems to be easier to swap doors than re-gut the factory ones. It can be done, just more time/labor intensive. There may be some threads on this as I know it's been done before. Did you try a forum search? Good luck and keep us posted...... Daniel U
