Do it......

Ridnhi · 12-19-2011, 10:27 PM

Not sure if I missed this but as bad as the new truck was smashed are you going to have to straighten the frame at all?

Can't think of a reason not to as long as you have the ability. I don't, so it wouldn't be a good idea for me. But I will strongly endorse someone else to make it happen.

docrock · 12-19-2011, 10:43 PM

that would be very cool.
would use handles or hide the second handle inside the front door jamb?

**67cheby** · 12-19-2011, 11:54 PM

i personally dont care for suicide doors unless it is a radical custom , just my 2 cents, depends on what overall look you are going for

VA72C10 · 12-20-2011, 12:46 AM

I'm not a fan on most vehicles but I did see these on a crew cab and it seemed to make rear entry easier/more convenient.

The frame checked out great. I measured it all out with no problems.

tomsprojects · 12-20-2011, 03:43 AM

tomsprojects · 12-20-2011, 03:47 AM

Holy-Jeeze...if you have that much drive when you're done the 4 door, I'll ship you some of my junk to help keep you occupied!

tomsprojects · 12-24-2011, 03:37 AM

Here is the gauge cluster Im going to use out of the 2011 silverado , I will make a bezel like the original 68 but with the holes to line up with this cluster.I think this will look pretty good and function great with the digital read out of my new running gear.

tomsprojects · 12-24-2011, 04:00 AM

If any one cares here are a few more cars I have been working on at work, the first one is a AC Bristol, the second one is a Ferrari Daytonarace car with a v12.

**67cheby** · 12-24-2011, 10:27 AM

WOW...and WOW, great idea on the guages to use them and build a factory looking panel for them !

sleepertruck72 · 12-24-2011, 05:03 PM

I like the idea of the 2wd Blazer Slammed, I think the gauges look awesome, and I dig those race cars you are working on ! Looks like alot of fun

Check this burb out. Before you cut the nice one.

jbclassix · 12-25-2011, 02:36 AM

I'm in for this one!

All these 4 door builds on here recently have me chompin at the bit to get back to mine!!

68 TT · 12-25-2011, 04:10 AM

Looks like the 07-up cluster and heater controls lend themselves more to our trucks than the 99-06 stuff does.

Nice project. Keep it up.

I'd like to build a 4-door Suburban with a reduced wheel base & rear overhang to make it fit onto a 2000-up Tahoe chassis.

tomsprojects · 12-26-2011, 01:34 AM

Well I finally had some time today to work on my 4 door project and work I did.
