Tell him to go find a barn door Burb and fix that up.. KShortell 01-27-2006, 10:14 PM There is too much involved to make it worthwhile. Tell him to go find a barn door Burb and fix that up.. I'll second that. Plus, you can't fish off of the tailgate if you've got the barn doors! http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/images/icons/icon10.gif I've actually done that... Seriously, though. It's not easy like it might seem. The factory welded different pieces into the body for the two setups. 64fleetside 01-28-2006, 11:23 AM he found out it ain't easy, the lower panel will have to be swapped & he has to get the nut plates that bolt on the doors. he has them "on" now, just another trip to the yard for the lower panel. brian Captkaos 02-01-2006, 06:49 PM If it was a pre-80 model it would be alot easier. Most came with both hole/plates installed. 64fleetside 02-10-2006, 08:55 AM the toughest part is changing the panel under the doors/taiilgate, they are different. brian lazerus 02-12-2006, 02:20 PM i've done one not worth the time along with the lower plate there is also a crossmember under the floor that has to be changed you have to buy the crossmember new it's about 250.00 |
