Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
That is pretty awesome that it worked that way!
I like the way you did your door better than the way I did mine and my brothers. On both of them I used the rear of a right door and then chopped the front of a left door for the hinge section. I thought there was a reason why I moved the hinges closer on my Burb to match the 3rd door, but i guess it was moot. I may just copy you for the hinges on my brothers door, and save me some welding. After I bought my brake, I started to think that it would have been easier to use Suburban stuff and just flip it. But we had a real hard time finding one that we could get parts from. Donor parts are definitely the way to go.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Yea the door was eaiser then I thought it would be I am still going to use part of a passenger door as part of the finishing details. I was planning on moving the upper hinge down but when I mocked it up it looked like it would work so I gave it a shot. I used as much off the doner sub as I could I was just lucky my buddy had one i could cut up. The weather is about to get ugly around here I just hope I can keep up the pace.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Hey man. You mind posting a picture of the header area above your 3rd (right rear) door where the cabs are welded together? On mine I ended up cutting all the way to the B-pillar and adding that section from another pick-up. I checked on my suburban compared to my brothers cab and they both are different than above the front doors.
This is proving to be a pain to get lined up just right, by the way.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
Alright, now I have another question for you. Are your B-pillars different widths? My right is 1/4" wider than what is there from the factory on the left? It freaked me out when I measured my door openings and they were 1/4" different. Luckily I set the rear of the cab from the leading edge of the B-pillars.

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
No, I was talking about the inside... I think mine is 5 1/2" on the right, and 5 1/4 on the left. That will be fixed when I put the lip in that the weatherstrip attaches to.
