Need to know where to find 61-66 f100 door.
 
Need to know where to find 61-66 f100 door. My dad got t-boned in high school when he drove the truck and I’m getting close to the point in my resto to replacing it. Surprisingly the door opens and closes absolutely fine but window no longer rolls up and guts in the door are a little tweaked. Only reason I don’t try and get it pulled out is I think it would be cheaper to get a new door instead of getting someone to pull it and do the body work on it

Used doors are your only option. Plenty of them for sale on any given day on FB marketplace, eBay, craigslist, swap meets, etc. I usually see a range of $125-$250 for a nice door, depending on where you’re located and whether the seller is motivated to sell.

Lex: Just a heads up, your profile lists a 1966 truck, but 1961-1963, there were TWO types of doors:

Those used on '61 thru '63 "Unibody" trucks , the bodyline is straight (ie: no "dogleg" like the conventional cab trucks

Those used on Conventional cab trucks ('61 thru '66), have a "dogleg" in the bodyline

Both types of doors will bolt up and fit the opening, BUT only one type is "correct" for each application.

**And there have been people on this site that have bought the wrong door to replace a rusty one, and others who only noticed AFTER purchasing a truck that it had one of each type door:)

**Also, if it's the drivers door that is damaged, make sure you remove the data plate from the original door, as that is another thing seen frequently, a guy buys a truck, and starts checking the data plate against the chassis VIN, and they don't match because the data plate from the original door was never changed over to the replacement door.....
