cool, thanks guys. that was perfect. i think im gonna be suiciding my doors here in the next couple months. i need to get it running first. im just gonna stick to one task at a time. lol. but the process doesnt seem to be too hard or complicated.

the only question i still have though (which maybe i missed it reading) is that when you cut the holes in the jamb for the hinge pocket, other than welding to the face of the pocket...is that all that you weld as far as the cab side of the hinge goes? like there isnt any internal bracing at all just whats on the doorwhen it flexes.

I'd brace the inside to the floor or back cab wall.
