You probably got that info from IMDB. Fortunately it's not true. It just happens that W.D. Richter was involved in both movies. As great as both movies are they are nothing alike. Big Trouble was originally written as a western and instead of Jack's truck being stolen his horse is. Carpenter and Russell mention this on the DVD commentary. Carpenters DVD commentaries are some of my favorites. This one and the one they did for the Thing are some of the funniest.
Enough of that, now for an update.

UPDATE...
I finished the build of the door including the hinge.
