We only had time to do half of one door this sunday. It took longer than i thought!! The replacement part didnt match up very well. Good thing we only needed a small part of it!!

dnd1978 · 08-21-2013, 11:37 AM

The driver door is shot. There's no fixing it.

You can buy that inside piece if the door from some places. I believe LMC has it. It's hard finding good doors down here in the South!

Neither! Haha I know that is not the answer that you wanted though haha. Having been down the aftermarket door road myself I would rather build a door out of scrap than use an aftermarket door again lol. Hopefully they have gotten way better since I last bought some. Absolutely love the 315s on the back btw. So want those on my truck. Did your wheels end up being 11 inches wide?

El Campo,

Thanks, yes the wheels are 11 inches wide. They did a good job on wielding them. I have the outer and inner door skin and was planning to repair it. When I opened the skin it was rotten. The door was repaired once before and they only made it worse! The inner supports for the hinges is done and there is a problem with the upper hing area. I have a cheap repop door and it is ****!! I'm hoping auto metal direct door is way better. I have read some good thinks about them.

Your gaps turned out nice. I know what you mean I had to do a lot of cutting to open/close gaps. In the end they will look way better then how they came off the gm assembly line

mcbassin · 04-26-2014, 11:45 PM

Very nice work on the cab. The gaps look great. Keep the pictures coming.

orngsikL · 05-01-2014, 03:08 AM

nice!

dnd1978 · 08-25-2014, 11:08 AM

Guys,

Just a little update on this project. Work is moving forward slowly. I added the lip to hide the edge of the boards. Then shave the bed corners and body worked it all. I spend some time working on the gaps on the tailgate. THIS PROJECT WILL NEVER END! Who idea was this… HAHA

dnd1978 · 08-25-2014, 11:09 AM

more

dnd1978 · 08-25-2014, 11:21 AM

Guys,

We have been fighting the flow of the cab where we shaved the drip rail. I think we finally got it right. It’s hard to see what we did in these pictures but here you go. I will get some better picture soon. Our next step is to put the cab on the front with the front clip. This will be a glories day, cross your fingers that it happens in September. Talk to you guys later.

mcbassin · 08-25-2014, 12:38 PM

Awesome progress. She looks great!
