How far do your cab doors open?

As it's been commented on by quite a few people now.
How far do your cab doors open with the check strap attached, or is this another 1968MY only foible?

My 70 definitely doesn’t open that wide with it’s original check strap

Just had a thought, maybe that a custom mod for our fatter drivers may be? Not you though Wiggy ?

Ozziedog ,,,,,, shall have to get some !

Same as my 70, that seems uber wide

Had to pop down the garage and have a quick compare and a photo. My '68 Single Cab doors definitely open further than my '70 camper. The pick-up door is almost at 90 degrees.

Never noticed this before.

68 vs. 76. Massive difference, I never knew about this before. Love it

My 68/69 opens nearly 90degrees too

So,,,,, is this purely down to the hinges ? And is there any possibility of retro fitting, or having one of each with a replacement door possibly ? Or is it the door itself along with hinged ?

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,tis verrrr interesting indeed

Must be different check straps, I presume. My mates 69 was next to mine but I couldn't open the door fully to see. I'll have to compare.
