Looking for a driver's side door for my '59 apache 3600, but I need to know if other years are the same. Please let me know, as it's easier to find a part if I can cast a wider net.
Thanks...

I'm always on the lookout for doors (and fenders) too, for my '59.
So far all I've found is that if I want one in decent original shape, I better be willing to shell out the bucks and shipping is another killer.
The very bottoms of my doors are the issue.
I've seen that I can buy just that section for a fraction of the cost... and I'm hoping to get a mig welder from Santa!
Good luck in your search.

That's what I'm finding too.
I just got a $495 quote from Desert Car Parts for a straight, rust free door, but they sold it to a walk in later that day.
I found a local (2 hours away) restorer that can get me a new repop door shell for $465 plus $50 shipping to him. He said that he's used 4 of them in the past 2 years, and they all fit very well. Brother's sells them for $495, but shipping will be another $170.
You can always use Greyhound to ship large parts...shipping a door from CA to CT would run me about $120. Also, for larger parts, Fastenal will ship freight on their trucks. I've heard that the prices are very reasonable.
Looks like I might have to bite the bullet on this one.

I bought the whole truck for $1500, took the doors, seat, electric wipers, and many miscellaneous parts. then sold the cab for $800, and the rest for $200 scrap. So I got all the stuff i needed for $500. here they are after just sand and paint: http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff419/tomctomc/newdoorsfinishpaint3.jpg | | |
