car doors on a truck

[ndracing]

Hi guys, I have a '47, 1/2 ton studebaker and I talked to a guy this summer that had the same but he had put doors from a car on it that were 6 inches longer (I think). He said that doors from a 2 door car 41-46 would work. Were the doors on all models the same? I know that he had to radius the upper rear corners to make them fit. Has anybody else seen this? Does anybody know where I can find these doors to fit my truck? Any help would be great. Thanks, Ryan

I know naught of what I speak but, are you sure his wasn't a '37?
That would make sense.

41-46 doors could possibly be made 2 fit. '37 doors will not fit anything 38 or later.

If you just need doors for a '41-'48 "M" Series Truck, just ask, and you may find them! [:0]

Yes, it's the green truck in Iowa. I have one pic on my phone I'll try to see if I can get it posted tonight. I need car doors from a 2 door car ('41-'46) and this will allow me to stretch my cab roughly 6 inches, if that works I'm going to try to chop it 3 inches also. Thanks for the help
