Me too getin a new driver door swapin the motors and takin the new exaust off the wrecked one I just can't remember if the doors match or not

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Driver doors share the same shell/style from 1980-1996/7

The only time door issues come into play is if you use 1980-1991 doors on a 1992-1996. The wing vents will smack the dash and won't fully open unless you swap in the correct 1992-1996 wing vents, which have a section cut out to clear the dash.

 

[tedrow42]

I'm talkin where the locks are and the type of mirors but the one on it now is rusted out I can line it out down the road

 

[Fordzilla80]

You'll still be fine. Everything else is similar. One other issue you'll have is with the armrest support plate. It sits either farther forward, or a little farther back on the newer trucks. You'll need to relocate it, which isn't that hard.

 

[tedrow42]

Ok here's an update truck is done but I guess the guy put a hole in my radiator she over heated on me and shut down smoked like hell hope the motor ain't blown it wouldn't fire after it cooled off but think there is water in the distributer. Ill know more tomarow

 

[Ridgerunner]

Lets hope it's something simple

 

[tedrow42]

[Beach66Bum]
