This is not a want to buy post. I just would like to know why the 60-63 doors are not reproduced. The previous and later truck doors are availiable why are these singled out?

Remember it has not been that long since the 64-66 doors came out.

jame · 02-19-2010, 07:58 PM

Like most things it will likey come out after I'm out of the market

**scotts62** · 02-20-2010, 01:03 AM

Yeah seems they always come out with the stuff that you need after the fact..

63deluxfleet · 02-20-2010, 04:54 AM

i would say because 456 trucks share so many interchangable parts such as grille, doors, etc that they just went all out on those models first.

**scotts62** · 02-20-2010, 10:47 AM

0123 trucks share bunch too, who knows maybe its not their favorite style enough to make re-pop parts

It is called "supply side" economics...low demand = no supply! Everyone on this site would love to see them reproduced, however, we are few, compared to the demand and popularity for the other years. Also, the 4-5-6 reproduction door shells do not hang properly and for nearly $500.00 + tax + shipping, it is not worth it, when there are good, used, OEM door shells available for 1/2 the money or less.

Yeah id rather get junk yard stuff for anything that i am working on verses the sorta fit re-pop parts that are out there.
