Maybe I missed it but what application did that gas filler door hinge assembly come off of? What did you need to do to make it fit?

Came off a mid 80's model took the grinder and cut the face off
( the door itself ) then cut the base or hindge at an angle to fit the contour of the rear fender well and the other side tp fit were the bed stak pocket was. I took the plasma cutter and cut the bed stake pocket out.. But only the inside part of it.

Thanks. I have an extra filler door and a damaged bed side sitting around. I will play around with it and see what I can do.

Did you take any more pics of the modified area?

I just came across this build and it's looking good. Please STOP spraying and buy a respirator and some latex gloves, so you could enjoy this ride when it's done. Paint and primer will really harm you. And thats an understatement. I've painted for 25 years. Cool mods.

weaintscared · 08-24-2011, 01:41 PM

We've got them just can't seem to remember to put them on when we go to spray.... Must be the beer!!!!!
