buds truck Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Can a deluxe door be changed over to a standard door and thus get rid of the wing window? If so, does anyone have the parts needed to do so? I do not want the wing windows, I like the full glass better and I know that there will be someone on this site that knows the answer. Bud Quote
Dale Uhrich Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 the conversion looks to be easy if your have ventless door hardware. the window tracks just bolt in (the holes are there)and you just need to cut out the vent support at the top of the door. i was going to change a vent door over to ventless for my truck but then my bodyshop decided to repair my old door.

MBF Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Bud-I am very interested in migrating the single pane windows from my truck to the 2 doors I bought from CA. I posted this question a couple of times and didn't get a real solid answer. Keep me posted on your progress, and I'll do the same. I hope this is as easy as they made this sound! I think you're also going to have to replace the outer window wiper to run the full length of the bottom of the door-I bought these from Roberts. Mike Quote
buds truck Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Posted October 8, 2008 thanks Mike, I sure will. If you hear of anyone with the single pane hardware, I sure would be interested. Bud Quote
grey beard Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 You'll also need one extra ruhher cough-drop-sized glass bumper on each door. Vented doors use two per side and non-vented doors use three. I'm still looking for a source for four of these rubbers for my truck. VPW lists them, but they turn out to be only 1/8-inch thick, way too thin to do any good on civilian doors like ours. Anybody find a source for these, pl;ease l;et me know about it - should be about 1/4-inch thick, I think. Quote
MBF Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 GB-If you're talking about the tabs that push into the door on the inside bottom of the door frame I bought mine from Roberts or Bernbaums-can't remember which), but it was purchased by the foot and I cut them to legnth and pushed them in the slots in the door. I thing they're called anti rattlers or something right? To be honest-they looked like wiper blade material! Mike Quote
buds truck Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Posted November 11, 2008 I found a set of ventless doors, suprisingly enough, about a mile from my home and they were just about rust free. Now I have an extra set of vent windowed doors off the 53. does anyone need a pair of really nice doors?? they are the ones that the body lines do not go all the way to the rear of the door. The ones I got do and I actually like them better. Bud Quote
