I would do it if it was a show truck, but not likely on a daily driver. In that pic though the doors make it look unique...I mean how many tubbed trucks have reversed door hinges? I give it a thumbs up!

By the way, love your icon longhornmail!

Personally, no. It just doesn't do anything for me. But to each his own.

I like suicide doors on street rods but I don't care for them on these trucks.
From what I can see from the pic, it looks like they did a good job on it though.

Just an opinion, but I have always thought suicide doors were the greatest visual ever. Functionally I don't think there that bad either. $ 0.02 TF

Cool

Not a mod I would care to have, but I do think it looks good. As other have said, to each his own.

IT'S NOT FOR ME, BUT IT'S OK. SUICIDE DOORS OR GULL WING DOOR JUST DON'T LOOK RIGHT ON THESE TRUCKS TO ME, BUT I LIKE EM ON FAT FOURTIES RODS.

Yea, the suicide doors just don't look right on it. Besides, I don't think they're road legal here in Oregon..

I don't think the results would be very pretty when I opened the door to dump my "spit cup" while driving down the road!!!
