41chevy Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Look at it this way, 1)You're probably never going to part with it, 2) if it wasn't rust free than more than likely it wouldn't worth doing , You don't like the window entry so why live with it when you have an option, 4) if and it's a big if you wanted to put it back the rear cab panel is available.

Freightrain Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 My Bentz has doors like that. Big on passenger side. Just toolbox door on drivers side. Mine has tapered corners not cut outs.

Outbehindthebarn Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 The cut-outs were just for muffler fitment. . . if you go with straights no need for cut-outs correct?

Freightrain Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thats a Bentz on your white B61?Yes.I redid the front of the bunk to match what I did to the cab.I say cut it up and make it work. Unless you are trying desperately to "keep it original as possible".The day I put the hole saw to the back of my cab.....whoooeeeee...........ain't no going back now. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
