Its a roddoors piece that 50adrod gave me( thanks again man).

not sure what you mean by a cover?

**youngrodder** · 04-28-2010, 01:52 PM

Cajun-

Lets see the back of the door panels. What at you using for fastners?
I might try to make my own door panels. Nothing too crazy.

I like how yours turned out.

it uses these little J hook things.

I'll get some pics.

eventytoo · 04-30-2010, 11:10 AM

Looks good. Question

Are you using a in tank mounted fuel pump? What fuel cell and pump is it you used ?

cajundragger · 04-30-2010, 04:55 PM

its an intank fuel pump.

pump is from tanks inc. and the cell is just a summit aluminum cell.

eventytoo · 05-01-2010, 09:26 AM

ok thanks for the quick reply.

cajundragger · 05-03-2010, 12:38 PM

I finally got the vent windows rebuilt. Took alot of work and money, but they function and should seal.

I put all the glass in the doors this past sunday, got everything in then accidentally broke the passengers windows. So i'll have to order another one and switch it out.

I need to cut my one piece window inner window frames to accept the vent window, repaint them, install...then all I have to do is attach the bottom of the window track on the b pillar side of the door some how and the windows will be done and working.

anyways, pic of the window in all its glory before I broke it...

Is the rear of the headliner held in with the stock metal strip screwed to the cab?

Newtz67 · 05-04-2010, 12:39 AM

What a beautiful truck!

yup and fits up in the metal trim around the windshield in the front. The sides just float.

Thanks for the info, now I can buy the one that is for sale here.

cajundragger · 05-05-2010, 12:14 PM

I just bought a NIB metal rib from classis parts or something like them. Seems like high quality.

How is this working out for you? I'm interested in this option too.

cajundragger · 05-07-2010, 09:49 AM

works fine.

just make sure all your fenders fit really well.

**youngrodder** · 05-07-2010, 11:08 AM

Cajun is right.

I plan on doing something simular but I am using glass setters tape. Which is this black waxy type tape that is about 1 1/4" wide and should do the same things as the strip caulk. My fenders will be the last thing to go on, so I'm yet to see if it works good or not.

Interesting. My dad has a 55 F(*d and it looks great but after assembly I noticed the fender welting and wished there was a better solution. I really like this idea of not seeing the welting.

cajundragger · 05-09-2010, 08:09 PM

strip caulk never dries.

I painted everything apart, everything.

you can still move stuff to align it, but I aligned everything in primer(no welting or caulk) and drilled 1/8 inch holes so when I reassembled I had little to no alignment needed.

my fenders dont squeak or move at all. so I'll deff. do this again.

'58Patch · 06-03-2010, 08:48 PM

Hey man, any updates? Pics?

454navyss · 06-04-2010, 03:41 AM

what radiator did you use and where did you buy it? very nice build, im sure i'll be referring to your truck a lot as im building mine.

cajundragger · 06-08-2010, 12:12 AM

its a PRC rad. My dad is a dealer for them so it kind of just showed up one day.

let me know if you have any questions.

454navyss · 06-08-2010, 01:54 AM

haha, ok. the only other questions are what are the dimensions on it and how much would your dad sell me one for? its going to be at least a couple more months before i need it though. lol

cajundragger · 06-09-2010, 01:20 AM

its one made for these trucks to fit in the stock core support. You just tell them what engine you want to run.

and for pricing, just holler at me when your ready. With the economy, prices really fluctuate.

eventytoo · 06-10-2010, 01:00 PM

How is the lizard skin holding up so far? would you use that again. Would you recmmend it?

Wvgearhead · 06-15-2010, 12:38 AM

Great work man! Is that a scotts IFS?

cajundragger · 06-15-2010, 12:55 AM
