Re: 1968 C20 Build

I ended up tapping those two stripped hinge capture nuts to 7/16 fine thread. I was worried that whatever I was tapping in that pillar would be too thin for this upgrade, or too shallow. But it seems fine.

I bought a couple of bolts and washers for it, and was pleasantly surprised that my scheme worked. I dunno why but I just expected there to be another problem to deal with.

Even better, the position I had the doors in was already perfect and they needed no adjustment. They close like a charm.

I am officially turning a corner, sort of. From now on I will not remove anything from this truck: I will only put things back where they belong. This is important as I may be losing the lease on this place.

I'll clean up that rust, I just was checking the fitment.
