Nice work. I wonder how that would look on the rear of a 59 fleetside.

In the first picture I didn't like the fit, missed it by about 5/16th of an inch.
What was it, oh yah "measure once and cut twice", thaaat doesn't work .

Took what was left of the original door, which worked out well for a better fit
and tacked it in place.

**shadow1967** · 01-17-2015, 11:19 PM

Next came the dreaded bottom and as you can see we took one piece of after
market metal , cut it in half and added 6"s to it in the center.

**shadow1967** · 01-17-2015, 11:22 PM

Since the ends weren't stamped like the original I cut the originals out and tacked
them in place.

Kim57 · 01-18-2015, 12:30 AM

Looks real good.
