    Well I'm glad you guys like the idea because it became a reality today. It's just tacked in place now, I will finish welding it with my new Tig that I pick up tomorrow ! I finally decided that now is the time to buy one, not when the truck is done. Getting a Miller Diversion 180. Anyway here's a pick of the camera area.

    Once again you're turning lemons into lemonade Navy. I think you've already justified the purchase of the stud gun, and besides another cool tool is always a good thing, right? Right approach on the door, too, IMO.

    Latest work on the truck. Roof install was a PITA because of the dam door . The door still is giving me doubts about whats really wrong with this cab. I installed the roof using the windshield pattern made of plastic and shield measurements prior to removal of the old one. I measured the roof to the rocker panel on each side and there 3/8" different thus the door troubles a long with the bent door, yet the front shield is correct. So what is wrong ? I measured the hinges to all points on the doors and cab on both sides and they measure within 1/16" .

    I'll just keep moving on and see where I end up.

    I'd just keep doing what you're doing as well. It's looking good by the way.

    No door to be found yet, I'll find one somewhere someday.

    Is the floor to top of door jam the same demensions on both sides of the truck? And how about the rear window measurements? Is it possible that the back of the replaced roof was longer on the door side that is too short? Just trying to guess what may be going on, if it isn't the door being from the wrong model?
