Got duct tape?


Recommended Posts

So I noticed my visor was a little wobbly...and upon further investigation, the sheet metal of the cab roof it's bolted to is tearing. So, visor is off (for now) and the hole is duct taped ('til I get a round tuit) pending a little fun with the welder to get 'er patched up right. Gotta weld up a crack on the door, too, right above the top hinge...but that's been that way for a while. If I can snag a door from a 99 or older CH (with a clean title, of course) then the door will be a moot point. Always wanted a kick vent (no AC) and with the pending e-log mandate, now is as good a time as any. Anyways, some pics:

I thought it was fiberglass...but it ain't. Not sure if it's aluminum or steel...guessing aluminum because there ain't a hint of rust on it. Whatever it is, it's been on there since before I bought it, so whether it's OEM or not, I haven't a clue.

 

Edit: Upon further inspection, it does appear to be fiberglass. Sure is a HEAVY S-O-B to NOT be made out of some sort of metal.

The driver's side door (with the VIN tag) would be the one I'd be interested in....especially if it comes with the matching clean title for a CH that is a 1999 or older...first because it should have the kick vent (I don't have AC, so anything/everything I can do to encourage outside air to flow into and through the cab in the summer helps) and second to register the truck as a 1999 or older to avoid the ELD mandate.  Even better if it is white with the tan interior, although that can be fixed easy enough with a can of paint and swapping the interior panel I've already got on this truck.  Haven't had the lower half of it in for some time now...every once in a while the exterior door handle will quit working and I've got to fix it, and NOT having to remove that lower half of the panel makes it a 5 second fix once I crawl in through the passenger side to open the door.
