Ambulance Door Chopping

[burnt03]

I was wondering if anyone had cut down their ambulance doors for the purpose of having the two top sections attached to the hardtop. I've seen a guy around town with this setup and was thinking I might go this way.

Does anyone have any pics of the setup and how they got the doors to latch closed onto the bottom half? (I have one of the flat bolt on inserts from aqualu).

Thanks

my best friend and her dad did her's like that and i have a pic of a cruiser from the indy jambo a few years back that had it done. i'll dig up the photos when i get home.

...don't like the idea of a fold-down tailgate though

Why? I love my OEM tailgate... more room at the campsite, a place to sit while wheelin'...

with the amb. style tailgate, you can get closer to the truck when loading things. i'd love to have a pickup with a tailgate that opens to the side instead of straight down... besides, you can always just sit right inside the truck ;p many a time i have sit in the back of the truck with a 2x4 on the wheelwells as my table

I'll try to remember to find some pictures of my truck at home tonight. It came with this setup from the PO. Not as nice looking as usmcruiser's but functional. I'm actually in the midst of converting the whole thing back to ambulance doors and may be willing to part with the tailgate and top half doors.

I can't take credit. It isnt mine it is exactly what I want to do. If you are willing to part with what you have I wouldent mind getting my hands on them, that is if burnt03 doesn't want them.

Thanks anyways but I already have both a hatch and ambulance doors, so they're all yours usmcruiser!

Here's what I have. The top doors are cut in half and the bottom tailgate is homemade from the PO. I've already pulled/cut everything off and found a set of ambulance doors to install. Now I have to rework the sill to fit the doors on. (Lowtide and Redrustbucket, I may be coming to see you today...)

(See if I can figure out how to insert a picture now....)
