yea, i took the small panel off and found the mount broke away on the hinge, not sure on the engine yet can't work on it for the rain. I want to get the door fixed and a window in to first thing to seal it up better.

And luckily for us, there is a large enough demand to generate a unbelievable aftermarket scene... you can literally build a complete truck with aftermarket parts, cab and all...
All of the parts you will need can be found...
as an example, here is the complete lower door panel that can be replaced...

Ive been working on my truck on/off for 8 years (and i'm only 25)

Enjoy it! |
