I have a 98 GMC Sierra extended cab. My little brother recently rolled it a few weeks ago. so im in the process of rebuilding it. i know i can get a new cab with the 3rd door, but i would like to find a conversion to make both sides of the extended cab open.
does any one know where i can find the parts to make it happen?

I think that conversion might might be a little trickier than you think. First of all, the GMT-400 bodystyle extended-cab ('88-'98) was only ever offered with a 3rd door, not a 4th door. Secondly, the body stampings and floorpan for that cab was extensively reinforced over the standard extended-cab. I'm not saying it would be impossible to do a 4-door conversion, but you'd probably have to improvise and custom-fabricate a lot of the parts for it, since it was never a factory option.
