Has been redone will post pix in the gallery soon.The question is how to get the doors to close better with better alignment ? They seem to be shut but not looking too good on the long side edge ? Some help would be appreciated. Oh by the way it's now a flatbed.Very sweet truck! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | If you can get those doors right you are beter than I am. I've been working on this stuff for 60 years. I had a 63 I never could get them to fit & close right.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Especially the bottom rear corners like to stick out proud from the the rocker. To get a perfect fit is actually going to take more than an experienced eye and a knack for alignment. It will take some major body work to get them right. Once the weatherstrip goes onto the door, there goes the fit. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 331 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 331 | Oh great. I have a 61 Apache too, and was wondering why the doors stuck out on the bottom. I just figured it was worn hinges, but I'm wrong? Does anyone know why that happens? Were they really that crappy straight from the factory? | | |
