I don’t know what scissor doors are, but if they’re cheaper than stock, Craigslist or pull-a-part, yes (although the stick holding up his door is on my wish list)
The doors in your picture are scissor doors. The ones with the hinge on the top are GullWing doors.

Actually if you look, these open up and out, not just “scissor” up. Anyway, not my style. I’ve had fancy cars, but my image of trucks is kind of workhorse rough & tumble. Proper accessories aren’t big wheels, they’re light bars and hitches and chains and diamond plate and such.

My 97, slowly moving along, will be along the lines of the one with the stacks, but not all the big wheels and such, more stock like the green dump truck.

Have a good day and I hope you have a great day and I will see you tomorrow at the conference in the morning and I will be in touch with you on the next steps in the future to ensure that you are able to get a good feel for the place you are working on and I will be happy to help you out with any of the above mentioned items in the article I am not sure what to do with the fact that I am not a good person to be in the world with you and I am not sure what to do with you and I don't want to be with you for a long time.

I was looking for ideas, found this

It’s impractical, though, you’d have half the windshield rear view mirror on one door, and half on the other...

....the red ‘79 is nice too but Id rather have the older one, 390 with a creeper 1st 4speed, 4.10’s, Im sure its 10 mpg on a good day but there’s a truck!
YAASSS SUH! Trucks should be a beast machine in function with masculine beauty, a pleasure to operate and ooze power, strength. I love the ones that just look like a powerful machine, a work horse, more then the pretty ones. Good pick.

To each their own ____. If it's no skin off my butt, then I couldn't care less.
Came across this truck for sale in my recent search. It's a 2000 with 2.5L/5 speed.

Found this when I was looking for parts/inspiration on my 87 4wd Rickstoration. You’ll understand later. Here’s a fire-ranger-en

I know that feeling. I think a lot of people here do.

It hurts my soul to pass up a perfectly good pile of junk for sale. My wallet and the old lady do not feel the same way.

I would like to take credit for the idea but I sold the 5.0 and drive line and mountaineer chassis I got with the 88 to my friend. who is using it to make either a awd 47 or 39 ford truck he hasn't picked which he is doing yet, but he has both sitting around now I want one now....
But I have a 318 and some other goodies lying around I could use. In that dodge truck.

This gives me a business idea. I'm gonna buy a big old empty building and rent space to all the married people so they can hide their terrible junk car purchases from their wives. I'll make the business name "Slippery Pete's Jewelry". That way if your wife finds the reciepts for the rental space she will think you are secretly buying her jewelry on a lay-away plan...
