Discovered this site recently while researching Spicer Hubs and looking forward to cruising thru all the threads. So much info to consume.
My square was my Dads.
73’ K20 Camper Special with 383 stroker and RV cam. Custom pin striping signed by Leon Fisk.
Dad had picked it up in So Cal sometime in the ‘90’s And it was already customized and wearing out. Doors are rusting, burns a little oil, but the interior is looking pretty good. Need to replace the window and door rubber now that I have it in the PNW!

Best rusty door method? IMO there are so many clean parts in the PNW, I’d buy a couple OE old doors with no rust.

Maybe not instant gratification but I’d hit CL and Marketplace regularly. Swap meets. And here. Put up a wanted post. Quite a few PNW members.
If you’re in a hurry. New doors are about $250/ea or patch panels for considerably less.
