I have seen a guy make half doors on differnt trucks and he cuts them down to look like Jeep doors. With a lower section cut down in the doors ie: Soft top CJ jeep doors. He said it gives him and others a better look at the trail, tires ect.

Hopefully mine will turn out as good as yours. I'm not going to use full size rear ends though. I am going to use the rear ends from a Toyota.

the 10 bolt front/14bolt rear is standard 3/4 ton running gear from late 70's to mid 80's I have ran the same stuff with 42 inch swampers on a 5000# truck and don't have any trouble.
