Re: Is the door flat across from front to rear?

How to fix a door is more than i could explain here. It depends on the damage and every part is different. I guess my answer is that there is no easy answer.

The bleeder valve has to be at the top or air will not bleed out.

Re: 68 D100, hydraulic clutch A833 O/D conversion

No I have not tried a stainless lined slave cylinder. Where can you get that done? I normally have to rebuild mine about every 3 years. But I drive it a lot. It works but I can't hold the clutch pedal down very long now before the pressure leaks off and the clutch engages.

Re: Window vents

I have never tried making the wing window but if I get a chance I will try it. They would look good in stainless.

Re: 68 D100, hydraulic clutch A833 O/D conversion

i just made a simple crossmember out of rectangle tube for the mount. The hydraulic slave cylinder has worn out again. i think it might be time to come up with something better than the factory set up . i might try a wilwood hydraulic assembly.

Crew cab inner rocker brace. All the same?

I made some patterns from a 1963 crew cab for the extra braces behind the rockers. I am wondering if the other years of 1961-71 would be the same or if anything changed. There were 3 extra pieces on each rocker to brace it. If anyone has pictures of other years they could post that would be awsome. ...

Re: 68 D100, hydraulic clutch A833 O/D conversion

Its been 3 years and it still works great! The only thing that might make it easier would be to buy a hydraulic clutch kit from somewhere like wilwood and use a hydraulic throwout bearing. Then you would not have to make brackets up and modify the factory setup.

Stainless is easy to polish as long as it is allready smooth, just use polish compound made for stainless.
