Maybe, they just didn't like or could not afford new doors. Mine did not do
as well. The former owner/smuggler took a sledge hammer to the doors and
Bondo'd then shut. Customs did manage to take the vehicle away from him
eventually auctioned it after much cutting and further smashing.

It was heartbreaking to see how cherry she was before the DPO got ahold of
her. Apparently listmember Glen Cook sold it to the aforementioned previous
owner for substantially more than what I paid. Of course, he had pics
showing how relatively pristine the truck was before.
