Re: Aftermarket doors
short answer is don't....unless you have no other option...original doors are much easier to make work.....repop doors almost always have to be reworked to fit...

Re: Aftermarket doors
To tell you the truth. I did not do anything with them. You can see a little bit of a gap. By the gas cap. I dont care its not a show truck. They are good for me.

Re: Aftermarket doors
I also used aftermarket doors on mine, The doors were the best fitting pieces of aftermarket sheet metal I used. Mine to is not a show truck, I drive it. The only issue I had was the aftermarket strikers took some work to make fit. The repop fenders both inner and outer, and a grille surround I had to drill out spotwelds on them to make them fit. The doors just bolted on.

Re: Aftermarket doors
Dumb question , which is easier , mount the hinges on the door then bolt to the cab or bolt the hinges to the cab then to the door . My doors have been off for many years , just about to bolt my reproduction doors on for the first time .
Thanks |
