Yeah I know about the rust doors ****, I think Im going to find a set of junkyard doors and cut what I need off of them, weld to my doors and do the bed liner under body line, instead of having to take some doors off that open and close like a dream.

I was in your shoes 2 weeks ago. I replaced both doors. Lucked out and found some with the same color interior, but they were a different color exterior. Doors go for $100 around here.

Really? I figured they'd be more, given that most local doors are probably rusty now. I figured I'd have to go someplace that parts out southern trucks.

yeah unfortunately i got my truck while i was up in north carolina but it was from ohio. and all the salt and weather up there tore my truck up. but most of the other 98's i see around here are in super condition im gonna go to a salvage yard and see what i can find.

Not to far away from me. Might consider making a trip next summer.

I stopped at a local body shop and they told me to buy new doors. She is really getting cancer bad, this last winter really hit hard. Looking at next summer to work on the rust & paint.

I was at a place in town that sells body parts to body shops, fenders-$75, Doors-$200. Id try to find some new parts If I were you and were planning to repaint the truck.

Anyone know if swapping 88-94 mirrors to 95-98 mirrors is direct fit? If I were to buy some doors from 88-94 I definetly don't want them handles or mirrors on there.

Check craigslist, thats where I have been shopping a lot. Guys will have whole trucks that they are willing to part or the parts themselves.
