FRANKENTRUCK's door replacement
 

After all of these years, FRANKENTRUCK is finally getting a new drivers' door!

Old door is gutted, and out. Rebuilding the vent window, now. Cleaning parts,...

That's a cool truck. One of those was for sale in my area not too long ago. It was the same year, model, and color, but it had a 292 and 4 speed in it. It was just a little more than I was willing to pay for it, but looking back, I wish I bought it.

A 205 or 203 Transfer case just needs twin sticks.
It's a must have for me.:chevy::chevy::chevy:

FRANKENTRUCK is cool to drive in 6" of snow, in FRONT wheel drive! Drives like a front wheel drive car,...no slip and positive steering. Weird.
