Are you going to vent the rear door some how? I like those ideas...never thought of of doing that.

Hi ThrashingCows, As a matter of fact Yup. Just finished up one of the jamb pressure relief vents today. Matched it to the front doors. Still have a little bit up of clean up to do. But pretty much spot on to the front doors.

Where did you find rear door interior??

He Getsome, The rear door upper door panel is the stock 1984 deluxe SE door panel the red lower kick panel is cut from a 1992 stock front LE door panel. I still have to finish cutting it down and fitting it to the small rear door. But I'll show how I did it in the next couple weekends

I finished up cutting the speaker hole and the preshure vent holes on the drivers rear door this last weekend.

Here's some picks of the inside of the rear doors. I removed all the factory 84 tar that was sprayed on the bare steel by the factory. If you look around the perimeter you can see the shadow of where it was. After I pickle X 20 it I'll scuff it and prime it then each door will get 1 quart of bedliner material to seal the whole inside and deadn the sound. It'll be better than dynamatt.

Im was thinking about doing a crew cab conversation, but there is no interior. Where would I find it for my doors?

The big thing is actually having a good cab to start with, even if it is just a shell. Rear door parts are pretty much non existent. Made of stuff we like to call unobtanium. Still, it doesn't mean you can't make stuff work, or get creative and build it from scratch. If you have a solid cab with complete rear doors (doors, glass, and mechanisms), you are most of the way there.

Great job on the rear doors, I like the vents.

Hi Getsome, I have to agree with Flyboy129's assertion of unobtainium on the interior for the crews. I looked for my crew cab truck for over a year and drove to Arizona to get her. The 2 most important things were 1 rust free and 2 and most important was a complete truck. Rare as a barn find 1969 Cougar Cobra Jet.

Thanks CETX, I just wanted to make sure ya don't have ta SLAM the doors. Which I'm sure is what contributes to those little cracks everyone has found by the quarter windows, including me.

Here's some pics of the drivers door lower hinge typical cracks and the courtesy lite contact point.. Not near as bad as some I've seen. But Cracked none the less and in need of some welding tlc.











I drilled a stop hole at the end of each crack before I weld em up.

I set up the passenger rear door for the power window and power door lock and the speaker wiring rubber boot. The boot is from a 2002 Cavalier. It's the best fit for the limited space in the jamb.
