Thanks for the input.

I started another thread about a 1974 BelAir Concept located here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...93#post7209093 . I had this wild hare idea about using the fleet side to imitate a '56 Belair. Going to make the final design decision difficult.

I don't know if you did your door pins yet, but I recommend OEM GM door pins and bushings only - still available online or at your local GM dealer.

They come in multi packs, so I bought multiple sets equivalent to the pack size and sold the remaining pins/bushings here in the for sale section.

I have a thread on my pin and bushing install if you search for it - might help you find a good source.

Speaking of sources for OEM, I like:

www.oewarehouse.com
www.oehq.com
www.davesauto.com
www.gmpartsdirect.com
www.rockauto.com

Also, search ebay and Amazon once you have the OEM part number.

I have purchased parts from all of these sources and have had no problems.

I have no cherry picker, so I built a short platform out of old 2 x 4 s to support the door bottom when removing and reinstalling the doors - worked good for me.

New pins and bushings made a huge difference on door closing. The power door lock and window wiring had to come out but it was not too much of a hassle.
