Custom tube doors...... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Turned out to be a MUCH bigger pain in the @$$ than I expected, but finally starting to look like something. Some fab left, then finish welding and paint to match the body. Hope to have them by the weekend!

It's definitely NOT a show truck. Just a respectible mudder.

Pretty cool and I like the design. Is that exhaust tubing? Is it stong enought to not bend when the body tweaks?

Thought I'd start out with exhaust tubing for a trial basis (don't have a bender big enough for 2 1/2). Figured I'd give them a shot for now and if I like them I'd make a good set this winter.

Nice. I like creative thinking this is outside the box.
