yep, the jambs had to be swapped out to make the good, rust free 40ish doors work on the 39 cab. after careful measurements were taken on both cabs, i scribed lines where i would make my first cuts on the 40 something cab jambs. for the rest of this build, i will refer to this rusty red cab as a 40 model year. i have no idea what the exact year is, the data plates are long gone for this cab. i make my upper cuts then my lower cut, being careful not to cut into the outer cab skins. you must also drill out several spot welds on the outer side to de-seem the outer skin from the jambs components. this is pretty easy. screwdrivers and an air chisel also came into play as well. the pic above shows the correct jamb along side the offending 39 jamb!
