    The '63 bulkhead will have the mirrored cut outs for the pedal towers and steering shaft.
    To swap you will need a LH steering box, and the steering relay in the frame has to move over to the other side (rewelding). You'll reroute some brake lines and a few other odds and ends, plus move the e brake handle to the left side if is not there already. I think you'll need to swap the arms on the swivel.
    Not a big thing except for the frame mods and locating a LH steering box.

    A 63 five door is going to have some problems. Double check the wings and doors in particular as they are pretty much unobtanium.
    I guess by "bug eye" you mean headlights in the breakfast. I think most agree that the bug eye term is for trucks post 1969 when the lights moved to the wings (fenders)

    Bug eye refers to the first trucks that used the non-recessed lights in the fenders, not the recessed type. They basically took the lights in the radiator support and stuck them to the outer surface of the wing.

    This has both...

    bugeyes, raised chrome rings, on the wings and normal lights in the breakfast.

    Trying to get some pics.

    FYI - the front doors have rusted bottoms, I expect these are available from our host right?

    Series 2-2A doors are unobtanium. You will have to modify a S3 door or repair what you have.

    Check Ebay UK. There is a gentleman in England that makes 2a doors and I believe he ships to the US.

    SPG Global. I almost pulled the trigger on some. Looks like good quality at a decent price. Shipping to the US wasn't bad and they seems like good people.

    They have nothing but good things to say about the quality of his doors on the Series 2 Club forum in the UK. Even the rivet counters. Try here http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/spglobalpa...id=p4340.l2562
