Popular Post eddeere Posted August 7, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2016 Spent most of the last two weeks on the windows and doors. Installed one new glass, window channels,glass supports, and misc parts. The new window channels I got from Watt's would not let the window roll down all the way. Had to modify them. Has anyone else had this happen. 1 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46359-painted-inside-of-doors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugeHugh Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) Nice paint job and great work on the door. I am rebuilding two doors on a 64 B61 and I would appreciate information on window channel suppliers. My driver side door hinges are in poor shape and I could use advice on repairing those. I found who Watt’s is and their B model roll up window channel. http://www.wattstruckcenter.com/store/index.php?route=product/category&path=60_75 Better slow than not moving at all.👍 Thanks Edited April 27, 2018 by HugeHugh Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46359-painted-inside-of-doors/#findComment-397720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I got everything from Watts . The roll up channel that the glass mounts in was different from the original and had to be modified . My driver door hinges were poor also . Rebuilding them looked to be a big job . There was a post on them sometime ago but you would have to have to more machinist tools and skills than I have . I found a set at Macungie . They were new but tan in color and the seller did not know what they fit . They went in the door pillar ok but the bottom hinge holes for the door were off . I cut the strap in half turned it over welded it and everything fit. I used Ditzler MAE 45735 LT GREEN MET paint . Best of luck with your doors Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46359-painted-inside-of-doors/#findComment-397730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Stormo Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The basic hinges are the some from right to left. My left hinges were worn out so I took an extra set of right hinges and welded the door mounting holes shut and re drilled them off the pattern from the left, also I cut the little tab off and welded it to the other side. The right hinges are most often good. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46359-painted-inside-of-doors/#findComment-397757 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddeere Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 Mike you are right as I see it. I had the right door hung and adjusted then the left was was hung with the top hinge bolted to the door. Instead of removing the door I just took the lower hinge out cut the strap or arm and welded it. For me this was faster than welding, drilling, and taping new holes.
