Re: suicide doors
I don't know about for that year, but there are plenty of universal kits that you can modify to fit...keep in mind, it's not an easy task to make it right.

Re: suicide doors
Sometimes it's better to think INSIDE the box a little and not screw up a good thing...

Re: suicide doors
well what i am doin with my truck is making have a time machine appearance on the outside it will look like it did in 69 but when you open the doors and sit inside it will be just like driving a new truck today but with a little twist and also i have always been a fan of suicide doors cause you just don't see them that much

Re: suicide doors
I think it is a great idea if done right. I have used hinges from a full size 2 door jeep wagoner with good results. I have a truck in my shop right now with SD but I am not sure just what hinges he used.

Re: suicide doors
Just put some Lambo doors on it! LMAO...seriously though suicide doors are not rare in my opinion, I think that they are played out by now.....to each his own, be sure and share some pics or do a write up to help others that may be interested in the same thing.

Re: suicide doors
No one makes a "kit" to suicide a specific vehicle. They are all universal and you have to fabricate to make them work.

Re: suicide doors
To do them nice, you need some serious reinforcement in the cab corner and the doors to prevent flexing. And yes they take some time, but I think they're cool! Here's my 67:
