84 4x4 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ok so i have a question about if the doors off of my 82 donor parts truck will fit my 84 daily driver project Quote Link to comment
radracer Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 in my experience, the cutoff is 1983. 83 and later all work together, 82 and prior all work together. Im not sure if that includes major items like the doors, but I know it applies to minor items like carpet, gauge cluster, etc. Id do some basic measuring; worse come to worse, and angle grinder might get you in business lol Quote Link to comment
84 4x4 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 That'swhat i was thinking especially since they are just gonna be t removable summer doors Quote Link to comment

84 4x4 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 The beer holder is magnetic from Snap-on and is pretty awesome.and the bumper was in the back of the truck when i got it i just welded it to the frame horns but I'm fixing to pull it back off and add to it a lil so it offers a lil more protection for the truck but i can ask the po about it he lives here in town Quote Link to comment
poor-mans-720 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 niCe.... Was wondering where at in Texas you are? Im moving back to the Houston area in October. Did the sas on my truck in a week. Could a been days if I had a hand. Could drop in and show ya mine. And take it out in the mud. Sucky part is, there is no mud up here in WA. Only rocks... And more rocks. And snow... Tons of snow. Im going wheeling tomorrow and I can guarantee I will find more snow... Sucks... I like that bumper. I got a couple of the. Snap on beer sweaters.things are awesome... :) 1 Quote Link to comment
