Removing Doors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need a little help. Do I have to remove the fenders to get the doors completely off?

Nope. When I do it (I'm not all too strong) I open the door, prop up under the outside with a jack stand, roll down the window, remove all bolts on the door side of the hinge...doing the last one in the top hinge. The door will 'catch' on your threshold and you can balance it upright with one hand.

I'm in Fountain Inn just up the road from you. If you need some help, I'd be glad to help you out. Just let me know.

SC-C 10 - really appreciate the offer. Nice knowing someone is so close to me with a similar rig.

No problem! There are three of us in town that have restored/rodded ours from the wheels up in the past year. We all help each other out trading labor, skills, beverages, etc. Let me know how I/we can help you.

hey Tiger....another little trick I've read on here......to make sure you install that door back to where it was is to drill a small hole thru the hinge into the pillar....it'll help ya line her back up

Wanted to do that, but doors are going back onto a different cab. Sucks.

I guess I should put the disclaimer...Only if the doors are going back on the same cab
