I am using 1x3 to fill in the window frames. There is a 1/2 inch gap to make room for the window seals. The cab taper was a little tricky but looks good.
Hey guys sorry for the delay. Lots of other priorities and 1 tornado have gotten in the way. I took a day and got all of the doors squared up which involved building new stainless door pins after heating and beating the old ones out. It is easy to get the hinges bent in the press. But those...
Sorry for the delay guys. Got the last of the seats installed, pull handles, and skins complete. I will finish the caps on top of the door jambs this evening. The next step will be cutting and stretching the top. I will also be beefing up the top for a roof rack. Thanks for following.
I’ll probably make some from channel or angle and add the rubber. I’ll start that in a week or two something tells me skinning the sides is going to be tricky!!
Hey guys. It’s been a while but I finally got the doors set and welded in. I am very happy with the results. I will get the drivers jump seat in next? then skin and caps to basically make a roadster. After that we will get after the top.
Photo dump !! It took a while to get that ?!$#* door mounted and sure it’s square in all 3 dimensions. But, after redoing it 2 times it’s on there for good. Also added a jump seat behind the pass seat. Sometimes we have 30 ppl in that truck so extra kid seating is a must!!! The A B C...
Great looking work!!! I got the back welded on too and cut out the C D &E posts. Got the D post built for the pass rear door. I did get my first video posted. Yes. There was a lot of sealer down there.
Got the most technical floor pan placed yesterday. Between the gas pedal, fender bolts, air box bolts , and brake/low gear lever opening. This was a busy layout. I’ll get the last small section under the dimmer and throttle linkage knocked out this morning and that should be the floor done!
Wow!! Great work. You will have to cut the door jambs down to almost nothing and make sure that you have the correct floor to rocker heights for them to fit. Check out the pic of the cab corner. There is a 1/2 inch drop from floor to rocker and another drop for the door sill. Technical but...
I finally got the pass floor completed. A week of tough sledding. I’m going to spend all day tomorrow building the last 2 floor panels. The low shifter and air brake levers will be technical but we will get it in. Then we can start to do the fun stuff like the suicide doors.

Mine is an A1 and it has an automatic transmission. The dip stick door is on the passenger side in front of the seat on the floor. I made the new door 5x5 ish. There are vertical panels at the rear of the inner fenders that bolt to the welded in floor pan bolts pictured.
