from Classic Industries.
The passenger fit pretty good, as good as stock.
The driver had a weird bow were you butt weld it to the door on the rearward side of the skin(door handle side, not mirror side), which made the window gap massive. When I worked the bow out to dial in the window gap, the entire top of the skin oil canned in. so that took some work to get back right especially because the door handle is there. I ended up taking off the door handle brace, straightening everything out- and putting the brace back on.
The door gaps end up being crap- but the stock doors were bad so that isn't a surprise. I didn't gap my truck to have perfect consistent gaps, but I did work them to be better and at least have a gap. When I first put the doors on, they hit each other and the cab in a few places. so lots of edge grinding and welding to make it all work well. The down side to all the edge grinding and such is the door edges get thicker- it looks like filler build up. so I'm not excited about that, but it is what it is- I wasn't going to build door frames and skins from complete scratch to be 100% perfect.
Overall I'd use them again. They fit no better and no worse than stock.
