Any progress?

[James72]

none yet I'm trying to get complete doors first, hopefully from a certain orange crew for sale on this site.

Hope ya get it, my doors are salvageable but I'm kinda scared to see whats under all the bondo and paint a PO but on, does your crew have the rest of the crew specific parts

[James72]

As far as I can tell it does, mine is a custom so there is'nt much to it (zero options on this one). It still has the "crew cab" emblems though. My doors don't hide much anymore, all those layers of bondo and expanding foam have started "falling" out.

I read your post about buying the back doors off doug if he parts his crew out. It would almsot save you a millon headaches to use the whole cab wouldn't it?

As far as crew parts I meant the piece that divides the two headliners and the deals that go around the back door flipper deal to open the door.

[James72]

The PO did the floors and box sides before he quit his resto, so the cab is'nt too far gone. The paper work headache would be worse for me, a Californian cab on my Canadian frame would make it classified as Rebuilt status which is basicly a repaired insurance write off.
My interior has the plastic headliner divider but nothing around the rear inner door handles, one more thing to track down I guess.

After some more research I found you're right! since the SN on my door already dose'nt match anyway and the only other place the SN is, is on the frame. I will try to deal on the whole truck and use the best of both. Oh how quickly building a nice daily driver can turn into a frame off resto!
