Re: 1954 replacement doors any good ?

From what I have seen getting the gaps right from the factory meant that you didn't have cold air getting in around the doors. For guys building a nice truck that is going to have good paint getting the gaps right is going to mean a lot of work.

Panel fitment be it a door or a hood or maybe even a fender has always been an issue when swapping parts. I probably tried ten hoods before I found one I was happy with.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
