For the past couple of weeks I have been working on replacing the inner bottoms and re-skinning both doors, don't have alot of time to work on it so its taking forever. Will try to get some pics up this weekend. Also coated the inside of the doors with rust converter, then rust encapsulator, bedliner then finish them off with some Boom Mat. Hopefully they won't rust anytime soon and should sound solid when closing.

Bennett68C10 · 01-15-2012, 10:27 AM

Some Pics as promised. First one is of Passenger door after spraying boom mat on. I had already sprayed rust converter, rust encapsulator and bedliner before the boom mat. Now its ready for the skin to go on.

Next couple of pics are of the rust work on the Drivers side door. Replaced the inner door bottoms, fixed the rusted out upper hinge area and fixed the upper part of the door on the latch side.

No not yet but Nate did tell me it would be a few weeks before I got them. I ordered them with the ball joints moved forward 1" to center the wheels in the wheel wells so they had to be built. Its ok though I don't need them yet, I'm finishing up my doors now.

Finally got my doors done this weekend. Got the skins on and bolted the doors back on to set the gaps. Need to do the bodywork on them now. Had to modify the drivers side cab corner to get that gap right. Oh well whats a little more cutting and welding at this point lol.

**fakerwade** · 02-19-2012, 06:05 PM

Looks like a "wizard of oz" picture???!!! Did your cab land on you???

I hear you on the welding cutting fitting .....repeat. It's a never ending deal. You have done a bunch of the same stuff I have been fighting for the last two months in my free time.
