I’ve made some progress. With some advice from the forum I was able to get 2 keys made for the lock for $15, very help!
Moved on to the inner and outer drivers side cab corner. I made the inner using the extras material from the passenger cab corner and went pretty quick. I then massaged the crease out with hammer and Dolley and a port-o-power. Wanted to get it out enough to provide a good seal on the door when it’s closed. The outer went well, used a 3/64 cut off wheel and cut through existing metal and patch panel then spot welded after every 4”-6” of cuts.Worked good but need to pay attention where the cuts need to be.
I taped and painted both sides in similar layers of paint that’s on the cab now in hopes to blend it into the existing look of the truck. Going to wait 24 hours to cure and see if I can blend it in.
Waiting on the door glass to get cut I found some rust I will need to repair. Plan on getting that knocked out in the next couple days and prep the inside panels of the doors for paint. Placed another order for parts today and hoping to get far enough to get a big chunk of the doors and interior prepped for the small parts. Seems to be moving along at a good pace so far.
