1988-1998 Chevrolet Silverado Vertical Door Kit is the exact Vertical Doors vehicle-specific conversion kit shown in this listing. It retains the original vehicle doors and changes the hinge movement so the converted doors open outward first and then raise vertically. Confirm part number VDCCHEVYSILVER8898, the complete application, body configuration, and current manufacturer notes before ordering.
Key Features
- Vertical Doors, Inc. builds the VDCCHEVYSILVER8898 as a direct bolt-on assembly that mounts to the vehicle's factory bolt pattern, and the vehicle keeps its original doors and outer skins.
- The kit swaps the factory door hinges for hardened steel vertical hinges and gas shocks so the doors open outward and then lift vertically.
- Vertical Doors, Inc. builds this as a direct bolt-on kit that mounts to the factory bolt pattern, and the company specifically cautions that weld-on kits can damage a vehicle.
- Outward travel before the lift is specific to this application, and Vertical Doors, Inc. does not publish a single figure that covers every vehicle.
- The company machines its hinges from domestic hardened steel, holds United States patents on its designs, and prototypes each kit on the actual vehicle so the hardware lines up with the factory bolt pattern.
- No separate shock purchase is needed.

Chevrolet Silverado Parts & Accessories
Find Chevrolet Silverado parts for a complete accessory plan with full model, body designation and duty class established. Match cargo protection, auxiliary lighting and chassis-support components to the actual truck. Lighting Pattern and Installation Compare beam distribution for the intended use rather than brightness alone. A narrow spot and a wider driving/combo pattern serve different coverage needs; use the manufacturer’s guidance for the specific light. Check whether the purchase is a single pod, light bar or complete package. Mounting brackets, wiring, controls and electrical requirements need their own contents and compatibility review. Cargo Protection and Chassis Support Bed mats and flares require actual bed length, liner arrangement, body contours and trim. Confirm attachment and clearance with covers, racks or other installed equipment. Air-helper springs require exact chassis, axle, spring layout and brackets. A compressor or controller is a separate system, and suppo...

Compare single pods, bars, lenses and complete wiring packages as separate purchases. Air-support kits must match chassis, axle, springs and required brackets. A compressor and control system is separate from the air springs, and added support does not increase manuf...
