thats exacly how i did mine,and advice for n e body wanting to do these on a k-5 blazer..................dont the back side of the door janb pocket is crazy

i second the leave-o stock hinge-o method. make sure its aligned how you want it on stock hinges first. those kits have little adjustment, so, get it right before you start.

one thing ive thought about, has anybody made the inner bracing a bolt in setup? wouldnt be hard, just wondering if it worked as well. that way you can get into the door without cutting.

Anybody have pics of suicide rear doors on a car? I'm wanting to do my wagon but I will only have room for one big hinge due to the curve of the door.

another easy tip is to take a long piece of all thread (kind of like a 3 foot bolt w/o the head) from home depot & a bunch of nuts to line up your hinge pockets before you weld them so that they're perfectly aligned. that way there won't be any binding issues. even if there's the slightest bind (you might not really even feel) there's a good chance your body filler around the pockets on the cab side will crack. i always hate seeing that at shows...
