69 CST interior door panels
 

I need to know if all the interior door panels were screwed to the door on the bottom. I've seen lots of them for sale and noticed they have four screw holes at the bottom. My door panels are original with the original doors. Mine do NOT have the holes and my doors aren't drilled either. Yet my panels fit snug to the door by the arm rests and the handles and the chrome trim at the top. My panels have the vinyl scroll pattern bonded to what looks like a plastic panel. Does anyone else have this set-up?

Pretty sure they were all on metal drilled and screwed panels , any chance they've been replaced with aftermarket ? Post a picture it's pretty easy to tell just based on condition a 47 year old plastic panel will have some type of issue .

72 is the only year they were not screwed to the door, but there would still be holes in the door for the "Christmas tree" fasteners. Need pics!

I've had several original CST trucks and mine have always been screwed down at the bottom. 1/4-20 " Phillips head screws.
I purchased aftermarket ones, they do not have the holes in the bottom. You have to drill them on installation.

I'm pretty sure you might have 72 doors AND door panels...maybe...

Those are reproduction door panel probably installed when the new seats were

72 doors have the screw under the wing window. 72 door panels are completely not the same as these. I did a 72 c10 a few years ago and the doors and panels were completely different.

I 've owned this truck for ten years. When I bought it, it had a bench seat. The bench was nice, but I wanted buckets. The bench was so nice, the money I got for it paid for these buckets. I only had to pay the difference for the seat frame. I put these buckets in last summer. These panels were in this truck when I bought the truck. My son and I restored a 72 c10 a couple off years ago. Those door panels snapped on at the bottom. They had clips behind the panel. I know my doors aren't after market because they are much heavier and they have the triangle pockets at the bottom inside corners. I purchased Chinese doors once and they were light and didn't have the pockets. They were from a big name supplier. I didn't like the fit.

The 72 door panel are an animal unto itself , longer shafts on the window and door handle and the panels do have plastic fasteners . The only way to really determine what you have is to pull the panel and look at the backside . Nice truck by the way ,love the color .

Look like aftermarket door panels. Originals would have the 4 screws across the bottom.
