umodelnut Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I called Papa tonight and he gave me the bad news. The drivers door, that he put all that work in, will not work on the cab. I know what your thinking, but heres the problem. Who ever had it patched it and cobbed it all up and made it to work to their cab, but since the bottoms all cobbed up, it wont shut in my cab. So the plan is now to try to patch up the old door we took off. That might not work either. I guess we'll play it by year. :( :( Oh well.

umodelnut Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 We might have it figured out. We cut the corner out of the old door, to put it in the door we have the problem with. Hopefully it works. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26983-weve-got-a-problem/#findComment-135105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
