Rear door mods on 64 panel truck
 

:metal:Hey guys, need some help here! I know I have seen on this site a thread where you do away with the upper rear panel door catches(they hold the door open) and replace them with gas support shocks like on most car hoods. I have tried searches , but no luck!! Anybody else seen it or tried it? Thanks!

You might want to post this in the "The 1960 - 1966 Chevrolet & GMC Pickups Message Board" or maybe the suburbans/panel truck section.

I think I remember the thread your talking about. If I remember right, and I do not claim an accurate memory (or even ballpark memory for that matter LOL ) I think the problem that kept cropping up is the length of the gas support shocks to hold the door open wide enough made them too long to close. At least not without some modification to the doors. I'll take a look and see if I can find it.
