Still need to find a good drivers door but i have 3 other yards i can hit up so i'm sure ill find one. i did have a question about the hood tho. My hood comes back farther and the cab doesnt have the cowl on it(hope this makes sense )
Every hood i found off an 80 like mine either was creased as bad as mine or worse or was screwed up from when the moved the trucks around the yard with the equipment. I had found a pretty cool site with a truck interchange and it said that
HOODS:

73-80 SAME PART#(79 & 80 HAD A DIFFERENT FRONT EDGE, BUT THE HOODS STILL INTERCHANGE)
81-87 SAME PART #

i guess im just not seeing how one without the cowl portion built in would fit "right"
Thanks for the welcome guys!
they won't
