suicide doors on GenII Dak

[Mill Creek]

anyone done this?
My buudy has been trying to talk me into doing it to my truck, but I'v never seen one done.
I still want to shave the handles, can I do this double mod to my doors?

offer up some pointers if it's been done.

yes it can be done..either way the handles will need to be shaved if you suicide them unless you feel like makin new rods.

heres another member who has not been on in along time. he's got suicides

Any truck looks good with suicide doors IMO. Not a easy mod to do or a cheap one if you pay a shop. I have mine done on my Nissan but I have seen a couple Daks with them and they look good.

Thanks fora link to that pic....though it did just change some plans.
I was wanting to do a reverse hinged hood on mine, and my buddy, Steve wanted me to do a tilt bed, well now I can't. I don't want to be one of those guys that builds his ride to look like someone elses. gotta try to keep it somewhat original.

though around here, that isn't hard, I get so much crap from people (and family) cause I'm "ruining a perfectly good truck" "why can't I leave well enough alone" "if it isn't broke, why am I fixing it"

I guess I just live in a retirement community, lol

haha my dad came to my house one day when i lived in ohio and i handed him a chunk of my frame (where i notched it) and he looked at me and said "well i guess you weren't joking about never selling the truck"

my moms jaw dropped cuz when they pulled up i had a pile of old fenders bumpers leaf springs and pieces of my frame layin next to the garage

i cant wait to pull down the drive at one of my grammas parties aired up, then drop the piss out of it, slamming the frame on the ground, my family has no idea about this stuff
