1963 Chevy c10 rusty doors

I have a 63 c10 that I bought with the intentions of restoring but once I looked it over it is very rusty in the bad places. So I was wondering what you guys thought about the doors, which you cant buy aftermarket. The bottoms of the doors inside and out need replaced. If I was to replace the bottoms do you think I could sell them to someone restoring a 63?

It really depends on the buyer. I won't touch anything that has already had extensive repairs done because I only trust my own work.

Yeah I am the same as you but not everyone can weld and do body work. I dont know it was just a thought. I hate to junk the doors

Re: 1963 Chevy c10 rusty doors

It kinda depends on who is buying them, but definitely don't junk them as they aren't getting any easier to find in any condition. I know there's know plans for the guys at Auto Metal Direct to make a reproduction 60-63 door. I'm doubtful that anyone else wants to make one either at the moment.

Also, moved this to the 60-66 section.
