Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Good for you. I had to rebuild all the door hinges. However, that may not fix all the door fitment issues.
I crawled under mine over and over, it hasn't been on the lift yet, and I'm way older!

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I also used an emergency brake set up from a modern S10. I wanted a push/release assembly. Simple install, used the hinge hole for the top so that bolt will sinch down on the hinge and the brake assembly, welded two bolts to the kick panel and whaalaa... done. Routed the cable through the original ebrake pedal hole.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Okay need advise... I quickly threw on the passenger door and know it needs adjusting. But this kept me up all night. I noticed the gap on the bottom. Obviously not the original doors to this cab. I am using new hinges from Classic Industries.
As we all know the hinge holes to the cab are slotted for up/down adjustment. How in the world can I adjust the bottom of the door to move in? Should I slot the holes for side adjustment? Has anyone faced this dilema?

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I couldnt load up my video. But I noticed the top front of the door makes contact. So obviously it needs to drop down an 8th or so, but it also needs to come out from the top and in from the bottom. So maybe I shim the top out and the bottom in...

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Been MIA for a bit.. have been traveling due to business and less time spent at home, I got the hinges back from the machine shop, installed the new pins and doors fit much better. The passenger side door went on with no issues, the driver side door still has a small gap at the bottom, I enlarged the holes to give it sideways adjustment and the gap is much smaller now. Still not happy with it, but stepped away from it for a bit.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Huge improvement, I'd be thrilled if mine fit that good.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I had a similar problem with my doors. You may need to bend the hinges slightly.
Take a look at post #17 here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=578310 You may want to wait until you have the seals on your doors to get them set up just right.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Well its been a minute since I post an update. Between fighting Covid, work (so grateful to have still have a job) and the daily hustle its been challenging to keep up. I have been working on my truck here and there. I finally got to the trans cooler, wasnt sure where to put it and decided to go with where the battery used to live. Ran AN-6 lines and made some brackets to hold it in place.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
I was undecided on the window regulators as I have the originals, but after taking a close look at them. It seems as if someone tried some backwoods engineering repairs and the plastic roller thingys gone as well. I opted to buy new ones. So this weekend I decided to work on the doors. I layed down some Eastwood Thermo Coustic Barrier. It lays down easy, but obviously clening the inside and working the sheets inside the door is challenging... getting my fat hands and arms in and out of the inspection holes was... well lets just say it tested my patience... after numerous choice words, my arm getting stuck a few times... I finally got the job done. The doors sound solid now, no more empty can noise... but one thing I did not consider was the weight... the doors seem heavy now... so scratching my head... wish I would have done a little more research...

Re: Jesses' 48 PU

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
After fighting that cat, I installed the window regulator, door latch and the door seal... I was dreading it as I was afraid to screw it up. After watching Jerry Kassis with Dr. J's Restoration on YouTube about 100 times... I built up the courage to go for it... a little messy but glad I watched his detailed video... so left door done and installed.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Continued the sound/heat barrier project. Glad to finally have the cab floor, firewall and rear panel done.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Took advantage of the long weekend, set up my garage as a paint booth and sprayed the matte finish clear on the cab and fenders...here is my home made filter system.
Built a screen with A/C filters and box fans. I guess it worked. Neighbors didnt complain.

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Clear was still wet, but it dried to a satin finish. No lines or overspray. So guess my dad taught me well..

So that tells me that my custom "patina" paint job is good enough that it actually looks old. Lol...

Re: Jesses' 48 PU
Patina isn't my thing but I get it. I spent too many years driving patina to want that anymore if I can afford a paint job. I get it but it's not me. I have had guys tell me they would be happy to buy my old doors etc because of the awesome patina. Nope, just gonna paint it, thanks.
Dont take it the wrong way, it's just my history. When other guys could afford a nice paint job I was driving patina. Now I would rather have the nice paint job. |
