Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
So any idea on what or how to fix the door jam? I could just cut out that bad area, bend and weld in new section.
i was looking into this and found where some are just using Jeep Door Check stop brackets, anyone else on this? |

test
So I tried what you suggested Scoti, and it shows it just fine in Paint, Paint 3D and other selection, but as soon as i link it here, it rotates it. So, i just did as previously suggested and cropped it and tada now it works. lol |

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
Ok, anyways, back to the real issue, how to fix this area of the door pillar. I cannot find anywhere that sells this replacement panel or at least i cannot find or located one. So does anyone know about this? I have seen that others are using Jeep Check stop backets inplace of this. Bolts or welds on. That is great, but do i just cut out this nasty spots and weld in new metal or ??
Thanks |

If there are no patch panels for that area, choices are sections from a donor cab or flat sheet-metal & bend the 90° areas as dimensionally needed.

I have not seen any patch panels for that area yet. Easiest option would probably be getting a donor cab section, but you could also make one yourself. The Cherokee door check link swap uses the factory piece you are pointing at

I have a part of a cab I can cut that section from. Do you need both sides or just the passenger side?

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
I am a neanderthal compared to what you have achieved so far, therefore if I can cut in a donor panel to my door striker panel you can do the same with the hinge side!
Must admit that the great and the good from this very board provided me with the encouragement, you can see my efforts here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=658621&page=6 Good luck, looking forward to seeing you throwing sparks and sticking bits together with the sparkly stick. P.

Sorry I was in a hurry and didn't pay enough attention. I'm thinking $25.00 per side plus shipping. Unless you want to make the trip up here and pick them up.

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
I am amazed each day on this site how willing people are to help each other. In the times we are in today, the crazy way some treat others and then i am on here and see how much help others are willing to do for another, it is just awesome. I know that i will help anyone i can in any way i can. Shortly here, i will have a bunch of "extra" items that i will am replacing with new and will have the original parts up to get rid of, maybe help another out here. So, to all those who do help out others, not just me, but others, God Bless You for being a positive person!

Re: Starting 1966 Factory Short Bed Build, Bagged, 383 Stroker and Muncie M20 4-Speed
UPDATE:
I got the cab back from blasting. Not to bad looking. A few rust fixes required, but nothing real bad. The front window area on the passenger side is only really bad spot, and i have the repair panels for that already. Never done one of them, but with some thought and slow working i can get it. Please feel free to comment any suggestions. |

i do have a question. The old gas tank mount bracket, must it stay in place? I would like to remove it if possible.
