Re: new doors?

I installed everything myself and I have never done any kind of work like this before, so I'm sure a true "bodyman" could do a lot better than I did.

They do require some work though, the window frames had to be pulled out almost a 1/2" and I also enlared all of the fender mounting holes for easier adjustment. The hood and cowl gap you see was no different than when I had my stock fenders on the truck.

There's a lot more pics of the parts install on my build thread page in my signature.

I am satisfied with how everything looks and turned out. Keep in mind as well that back then from the factory the parts for these trucks had a 3/8 inch +/- tolerance for parts!!!! That's atrocious by todays standards!
