I have the same question plus another. Should I take off the doors and
the
windshield first to help eliminate some of the weight? I need to replace
the winshield plus one door already. If I need to remove the doors first
can anybody tell me the best way of attacking the hinges? I am very new at
restoring classic pickups which is obvious by the questions but I am giving
a warning that there will certainly be more to follow.I may be new at this
but am good at taking things apart but this time I plan to put it back
together and do not won't to make things worse. Thanks in advance for the
info that is sure to help. Keep up the great advice.
