Re: slammed 57
Very nice sofar. How much did you pay for your fenders and doors if you don't mind me asking?

Re: slammed 57
Thanks Dan, I'll look into relocating . I did have the same set up on my last truck I and it rode fine. But I do see your point.

Re: slammed 57
Tan man . I paid right around $1500 for 2 front fenders and 2 doors...But I strongly suggest trying to find some originals even if you have to do some rust repairs... this new sheet metal sucks, for I still have to do some cutting and reshaping

Re: slammed 57
well after a couple of weeks of working on the truck i finally have a little progress that i can report. I installed the driver side step and floor... and if you been following my thread , I mentioned how hard of a time i was having aligning the door ,cab and fenders up. Well come to find out the guy who had the truck before installed new steps ( but with the cheaper sheet metal step which is a thinner gauge and no support) but after cutting the old step out i noticed the cab door jams were torqued out of shape , which i can only assume that he didn't re-enforce the cab when he cut out the original steps...but after many measurements of a older cab a friend had , I finally got them back in to shape...at least for the driver side....I sill have to do the passenger side...But with that said the door fits GREAT now!!
I also scraped up enough dough for these guys! as you can see the cab,door and fender alignment is much better.. Thank GOD!!!! |
