Pulled the doors off today and they are in good shape but have slight rust on the bottom, removing the sills revealed a little bit of rust on the left side and one pin hole, should be an easy fix I hope, we'll see after sandblasting????..


The right side is even better!..


Now if I can find a 72 donor I'll be all set!... :good

Don't want it for body parts, want it for the disc brakes and power steering and the rear end for the 5 bolt pattern!... BTW, you know of a good sand/media blaster and a place that dips???, doors and cab really need to be dipped rest can be blasted!.. :good

Well, I just got a lead on a mid 80's Burban and I thought that was cool cause I could use a bunch of stuff on my dually at the same time, but I just found out that the 73-87 front end is wider by 3", no biggie but that means I'd have use the rear end too and that means setup and welding and I don't have the time for that stuff, I just want to bolt stuff up as much as I can!... Appreciate ya looking for a stripper for me!.. :good

The A Arms May Be Wider. I Don't Remember Right Now, But I'm Pretty Sure You Can Put New Ball Joints In Yours And Use Them....I Also Like The Older Metal Bushings......

Well, it has the old power steering ram so I need all the front end stuff to convert to modern power steering, and I won't have to mismatch anything the whole front would be 72, dosen't 72 still have the older style bushings??, I thought they changed in 73?.. :stupid

As I Remember They Do....Make Sure That You Upgrade The Lower U-Bolts!!  I Think The 71 Up will Have Larger Than What You Have Now. If Not, Replace Them!!
