Re: Looking for Blazer door info

I believe that the weld is factory (actually it should be a brazing). Can you peel the paint and see if it is a copper color? Mine is 100% original '72 Jimmy and it is the same way. I believe when they cut the frame work around the window it was from a stock truck door. Then they welded it there to keep the window and wind wing from moving the pillar around, giving it a little more structure. That's why often times you'll see cracks in there from all the stress that is put on the remnant piece of frame work left behind.
