THANK YOU!!!
First off, I have to say Thank you for having such a great site with such a great group of helpful folks. I have been working on my 67 f250 for many years. The last time I drove it was July of 94. I'll share pictures as soon as I get a chance.
So I was walking aroung the 2006 F-100 Supernaturals, and I ended up talking to a guy who directed me to your site. We were talking about my issues with truck doors. I purchases a set original factory replacement doors before I realized there was a difference with the 67 (I know, I was young!!!). He told me that he had seen a step by step direction of how to change a non-67 door into a 67 door. I have been looking everywhere and can't find it. The only thing I have found is a statement than changing doors to 67 doors requires major surgery. As I am looking at the two doors side by side, I can see where that would be true, but before I do something drastic like looking for a third set of doors, I thought I would ask. You know the car guys trust....I can't believe the guy would make up something like that.....
Anyway, Let me know....Sorry to ramble

re: THANK YOU!!!
Hello and Welcome from Texas, Keith just explained this 67 to 68-72 door converstion not long ago but I can not locate it to send to you. Maybe he will jump in with it for you. I am just going from memory here and I was not paying a lot of attention but I am pretty sure he said to just find 67 doors. Please wait for him to confirm or deny this and explain why. Glad to have you aboard and I wish I could have been more helpful

re: THANK YOU!!!
Good luck with your doors! I'm sure somebody knows how to do the conversion. Maybe a thread in the body section might render results. By the way, my sister used to live in Kenwood, Ohio.(or is it Kentwood? I don't remember.)

re: THANK YOU!!!
Welcome from Missouri! Where are all the smart guys when we need them? I too, am lost as to the mods needed, but I know where there's a '67 near here. I'll check it when I'm out there this week. They are usually pretty reasonable on prices here. Good luck.
