DavCut Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Unfortunately I’m of no help with a door, but looking forward to seeing more about your project @Hendrickson Fire. How about you @Firemack? Any leads on a L85 door? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69711-1949-mack-l85-fire-truck/#findComment-497487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Do you have the original door? That one looks like a replacement. Barring finding another replacement, I would completely strip that door to see what you really have. Evaluate that and see what can be done with it. Patches and the door bottom can be made if you can locate a good fabricator. Certainly, a good replacement would be the best and easiest solution. Keep advertising your need, one may appear.

Hendrickson Fire Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 The door has been stripped and patched, but is still no good. The filler is completely gone. A new door or used door is what is needed. any help would be appreciated Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69711-1949-mack-l85-fire-truck/#findComment-497521 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb73lt Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The cut down door might be hard to find, but a standard two hinge L door would be easier. Then just cut where necessary. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69711-1949-mack-l85-fire-truck/#findComment-497522 Share on other sites More sharing options...
