Daylight doors. I like it, got to do it now that TS sent me down that path.
First thing I think is get new cab clearance lights & seal that up and figure out what I want to do with the headliner, It's a wet cardboard-y mess. Pull whats left of it out and take it to the upholstery shop down the road and see if they can do something for me.

I've been using my new DeWalt 1/2" High Torque the past couple of days. Seems to hit pretty hard.

You will have to make a custom full open door stop, use the newer style cab striker latch and drill a few holes
in the hinges to mount the doors. The plastic headliner aftermarket is $1,500.00

The basic cab interior roof was the same from 1964 to 1981. 1981 was the last year of the A cab although some were left into the 1982 year in finish production. The plastic will fit all the
way back to 1964 with some small modifications for a good fit. All of the plastic molded headliners came with a center console for the AM/FM radio and will still fit early models plus the
cutouts on each side for dome lights above the door openings.

Thanks TS that helps a lot. I'm watching CL for "parting out". 4 State has a fiberglass A headliner for $387.99 says "fits 74-82" is why I asked.

These 900A's seem a bit like when I had the Corvette- "Rare leaky pen & sticky quarter from glove box 1967 435 tripower convertible $1,300"
Where's the husband/wife with the matching "1967 KW W900A" satin jackets?

It hasn't been over 12° the past couple of days so I figured it'd be best to fire up all the rigs this morning and let 'em run for a bit.
Everything started.
Everything ran.
Should I be concerned?

So far no "HELP!" texts this morning so maybe I'll mess around with the KW if the snow holds off.

Someone help me out with this, fuel cap is....inconvenient....since this is a working rig first. @Truck Shop ?
I need to move the exhaust back a bit.

Got on FinditParts this morning looking for cab lights I can adapt to fit the old KW.
Wow, that's a great deal- [click x5].
Hmmmm, such a good deal didn't make free shipping. Well, I should be able to find something else to get there
Pretty sure I need one of these [click]
Huh, that's a good deal on the Isspro 3" pyrometer [click]
.....[click click]
It's only money.

Started out the day with an accident.
Went out and fired up the mighty mini truck to warm it up this morning.
Right hand drive so just pop the door and hit the key.....
......it lit off.....
......and took off at a good clip.....:eek::eek::eek::eek:
......and rear ended the service truck.
I have to give myself credit for superior skills in being able to have a wreck with two of my own vehicles and neither one of them were occupied.
