Hey guys,
I'm in need of a pair of doors for our 68 Explorer. The body shop put on new skins and totally botched it up =(
The curve of the door skin has gone concave instead of convex and it looks terrible. Granted the replacement skins probably weren't the best to begin with but I want the doors to look right if we're going to the trouble of a full frame off resto.
Soooooo... who has a pair of rust free doors for me? I'll need em shipped or freighted to somewhere within the Continental US. Not sure where to just yet but it'll either be close to Dallas TX, Sarasota FL or possibly Allentown, PA (depends on who they'll hitch a ride over the pond with....)
thanks!
P.S. oh and also still looking for stock styleside bumper brackets...
68-72 doors wanted - rust free?

Re: 68-72 doors wanted - rust free?
I have a pair of rust free doors from a 67...I'm not much of a Ford guy so I'm not sure if these will work for you or not.
I'm in central Nebraska so Texas would be closest. also, I can take the glass out and mirrors off so they will transport easier.
let me know if you're interested

Went through the same with my doors same exact results but, anyhow... If you two strike a deal, look into greyhound for shipping(you may have to strip doors clean)across the states. Pennies on the dollar compared to freight The set I bought were shipped from WA to NY for a little over a 100$
I've had enough and I'm not alone

Re: 68-72 doors wanted - rust free?
Hey wallin,
thanks for the reply and the offer! The 67 doors do physically fit but the internals are not the same as 68-72. At the moment I'm not sure what to do. The body shop is currently trying to fix the problem so I'm holding off buying anything until they declare it "kaputt" for good...
I'll be in touch if they cant fix it!
thanks, Jan
And i'll have to look into greyhound shipping... I need an engine block or two...

Re: 68-72 doors wanted - rust free?
Hey guys,
Fraid I have to resurrect this thread. Final result from the body shop is no Bueno. So, I need a pair of doors. Does anybody happen to have a pair from a 68-72 F100/250?
Wallin's 67 doors would fit the bill if they weren't 67s! =(
many thanks! J
