Re: New guy starting new project

I have to replace the cab corner on the drivers side and the floor . The bottom of the doors need work. I'm thinking it might be best to replace them . Do any of you know where to look for good solid doors?

I occasionally see them here on craigslist. Check your craigslist in whatever mile radius you are willing to go. You have to try a lot of search terms and under each year sometimes in both auto parts and cars for sale...

Occasionally and older salvage yard.

Shame you are not closer. I have about 8 lol.

And those door bottoms are usually repairable.

Good luck with your build!!!

Looks good. As an owner of a 54, I'm along for the ride.

Re: New guy starting new project

I ran across a guy last summer who had hundreds of doors and about 20-30 trucks and cabs,he wanted $15,000 for everything,that was a good price if a guy had about 5 acres to store the stuff and about 30 truck loads
