Thanks Andrew for the photos and Bob for the kind reply!
After some hard thought last night I decided to probably change the locker doors out for a single one that's more original looking.... Even though the photos I have show differences in the lockers, hinge and latch placement, the one thing they do have in common is they DO NOT have any "X" stamped doors on them,(photos). Although my truck is modified mechanically, I have tried to make it look the part externally to the best of my limited ability. A modified drivetrain you can't see, an incorrect storage locker you can. Anyway, what's a few more hours labor at this point to get it right.  Thanks, David

Grand job
Doesn't the locker height block out any rear view though. Bearing in mind you are already driving on the 'wrong' side?
Could still use a pair of Dodge front door glass frames if you run across them - wont need them for years, but would rather have them on the shelf. Give the '34 dump a pat from me. Gordon

rear window..
Hi Gordon,
Yes, the locker shown in the center photo I posted does interfere with the rear window, but the other two versions won't. I measured carefully before making the lockers to avoid that, so mine will be even with the bottom of the rear window opening. The locker also needs to be a certain height for the spare tire brackets mounted on the locker to work out,(photo). I still have one window surround here for you and will be picking up another closed cab 1/2 ton in two months that I will be parting out, so I think you are covered when you need them.... The'34 Dodge says "hi". Regards, David

Great
no problem all round then -see what you mean about that height.
I'd offer to watch out for suitable bits round here for you, but only ever seen one cab in Scotland that wasn't a 13 cab, It was a Ford, but don't remember if it was 11 or 12. Next big lottery win I'm offering on the '34. G

spare tire carrier
Had some time this weekend to make the spare tire carrier. Only tack welded the threaded rod for the wing nut as I am sure the tire dimensions will change once it is inflated, and some adjustments will be needed....
Next project is making the spare wheel. That's the last thing big I will have to fabricate, then I can finally return to repairing/restoring only original parts! Thanks, David
