Sometimes I go down the rabbit hole.....
I started working on the door gaps yesterday. It was during this that I started looking at the way the new rotory door latch panels fit the door and the cab. I decided I didn't want it to have that bolt on look, so I cut out the diir jamb area and made a panel to replace it. My expectation is that when all down, molded in and painted it will look as if this is how Chevrolet made the truck and not as an afterthought.
Working on gaps...
The plate we have all seen that comes with the Altmen latch kit.
Not liking that bolt on look I removed the bracket and decided there had to be a better way. So I cut this area out and prepped it for welding.
Using posterboard I made a template and then fabbed this out of some steel I had around. I then welded the panel to the jamb and ground the welds smooth.
