No they are not door is just sitting there, its just held in by the latch.
It was getting late and I just had to check it out before I was done for the day.
The door fits in the hole but is nowhere near lining up, still have a little trimming
to do and alot of adjusting.

Ok, I could not wait until the weekend I had to know if this was going to work.
I got home from work drilled a few holes, now I have a swinging 4th door.
Still needs alot of work and adjustment but it works and fits pretty good as well.

Did you move the hinges closer together like on the 3rd door?

No I did not see any reason too, the hinge sits flush on b pillar and it clears the inner latch. I thought I'd give it a shot, seems to work ok.

That is pretty awesome that it worked that way!

I like the way you did your door better than the way I did mine and my brothers. On both of them I used the rear of a right door and then chopped the front of a left door for the hinge section. I thought there was a reason why I moved the hinges closer on my Burb to match the 3rd door, but i guess it was moot. I may just copy you for the hinges on my brothers door, and save me some welding.

After I bought my brake, I started to think that it would have been easier to use Suburban stuff and just flip it. But we had a real hard time finding one that we could get parts from. Donor parts are definitely the way to go.

Yea the door was eaiser then I thought it would be I am still going to use part of a passenger door as part of the finishing details. I was planning on moving the upper hinge down but when I mocked it up it looked like it would work so I gave it a shot. I used as much off the doner sub as I could I was just lucky my buddy had one i could cut up. The weather is about to get ugly around here I just hope I can keep up the pace.

I think Im just going to double layer it and weld down the seam to look factoryish
at least thats the plan.

This is the way I have always done it: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=497761

It's the fastest method with the best looking results IMO. Build is looking better every day! I wish I was brave/crazy enough to do one. :lol:

Hey man. You mind posting a picture of the header area above your 3rd (right rear) door where the cabs are welded together? On mine I ended up cutting all the way to the B-pillar and adding that section from another pick-up. I checked on my suburban compared to my brothers cab and they both are different than above the front doors.

This is proving to be a pain to get lined up just right, by the way.
